Autogrill is committed to proving that through sustainable use of natural resources and alternative energy sources (i.e. water power, biomass, geothermal, solar, wind) it is possible to develop business while respecting the environment.
The Afuture project was developed to answer this challenge.

Being the world’s leading catering and retail service provider for travelers neccesitates searching for the best possible balance between the company’s interests and those of the community, between respecting humans and protecting the environment.

The focus of the project is finding ways to innovate, selecting primary elements of each sales point, from the exterior finish (structure, interior fixtures, lighting, air conditioning, water supply, furnishings, equipment), and developing products (the type of raw materials, reducing and recycling packaging, etc.) with a view to eco-compatibility and economic efficiency.

Another goal of the Afuture project is to promote a relationship with stakeholders. By motivating and increasing the staff’s sense of belonging, increasing client’s and investor’s trust, promoting cooperation with suppliers and supporting the local communities where Autogrill operates.

Overcoming the idea of profit as the sole business goal allows the Group to embrace a multidimensional vision of value creation which includes economic value, competitive value (differentiation from the competitors) and social value (contribution by the Company to the well-being and growth of the community).
