The Group - Values

  • Minuti di lettura: 1

Values

Our Charter of values contains our “why”; what we believe in and work for every day. They are the principles our companies are founded on; a reference point for the entire Group and for all those joining us.

Charter of values

What makes us stand out
FARSIGHTEDNESS
Living the present while being well aware of the future. We look forward carefully and receptively, to identify business and growth opportunities.
REACTIVITY
Looking to the future means being able to stay one step ahead. We are fast and dynamic, ready to grasp challenges and opportunities, adapting our models and always developing new, innovative strategies and routes.
EQUALITY
Inclusion, taking part in the debate, sharing successes. Involving people, recognising their quality, is what a system that can generate value everywhere, inside and outside the company, is based on.
What we strive for
SIMPLICITY
We like going straight to the core of the matter because we have learnt to recognise what is essential, to know who we are and what we really want.
TRANSPARENCY
We like relations to be based on transparency. Being clear and direct is how we respect the people we work with every day.
TRUST
We let our work speak for us. Our experience, professionalism and clarity are what make us credible, a partner to be trusted; because trust is the indispensable base of every relationship.
What we are
PASSION
The fire setting everything alight; the awareness that we belong to something important, something to be built together. Not just work, but a mission powered by this energy.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We are part of a system and must look after it; working for the common good. That is what accountability means for us; a commitment taken with our employees, the animals, and the environment surrounding us.
HUMILITY
We know who we are. We know what we are worth but we don’t like flaunting it. Humility is our way of being and relating to the world; an authentic relationship built on the ongoing exchange of stimuli and points of view.

Purpose

Guaranteeing nourishment and well-being to the environment, animals and people to keep the eco-system perfectly balanced

Vision

Working with passion and humility for a common good; building a world where everyone can nourish themselves and be well. Able to renew oneself and evolve over time, like the will to carry on enhancing one’s human resources, the link to one’s territory of origin, the commitment to invest in the continual improvement of processes and products.

Mission

We trust people and they trust us. That is why, alongside our partners, we are building a sustainable model founded on certified supply chains, innovative technologies and essential production, without waste, to protect, nourish, respect the environment, all living beings and for a zero emissions future.

The Group - About us

  • Minuti di lettura: 1

About us

Cereal Docks is an Italian industrial group founded 40 years ago by the Fanin family, specializing in primary agro-food transformation. It produces ingredients derived from oilseeds (soybean, sunflower, rapeseed) and cereals (corn, legumes, rice), sourced from both conventional and organic agriculture, for applications in the feed, food, pet-food, pharma, and cosmetic sectors. 

With 6 production facilities, 1 Headquarters, 4 logistic hubs, 1 Quality and Innovation Centre, Cereal Docks processes more than 3 million tons of cereals and oily seeds coming from Italian supply chains every year thanks to the involvement of more than 17,000 farms, and from international supply chains.

In 2021, Cereal Docks was turned into a benefit corporation. This was to pursue, alongside the purpose of generating profit, common benefit purposes; to create positive effects for people, communities, territories and the environment.

FROM FEEDING TO NOURISHING

Besides consolidating its core business, Cereal Docks Group is committed to a new evolution shifting attention from the food concept to that of nourishment.

Nowadays, the consumer demand for healthy, genuine foodstuffs, and their health and well-being expectations require safe, traceable, sustainable products with transparent, certified quality standards.
To respond to these changes, Cereal Docks Group's goal is to generate innovation in the plant-based ingredients sector thanks to research and development of new solutions, products and application opportunities, to guarantee nourishment and well-being for people, animals and the environment.

The company’s name celebrates Ceres, the Roman goddess of crops and harvests associated with the worship of Mother Earth. Ceres taught humans to plow, and once agriculture led humans toward civilization, she provided food and laws.

First, Ceres broke open the earth with the curved plow, first gave the world grain and sweet sustenance, first established laws: everything is a gift from Ceres.

Ovid, Metamorphoses V

Ingredients of change

All the Cereal Docks Group companies are committed to the creation of a solid, polyhedric, lean, transparent and essential structure, to embrace change and grasp its opportunities.
Starting from us to make the difference. We are an active part of a live eco-system and we want to improve it daily: humbly, responsibly and passionately.
This commitment is the result of being aware that:

We are the ingredient that starts the change

BENEFIT CORPORATION

Cereal Docks is a Benefit Corporation: an ethical choice, a decision on the evolution of our business model.
Nowadays, the most important challenge for humanity is evolving from “extractive” to “regenerative” paradigms. The former extract more value than they generate, exploiting it to the disadvantage of society and the planet. The latter are at the service of human beings and life on Earth. A business that consumes more value than it creates should not exist.
That is why we have changed the Company By-laws introducing a double purpose: generate profit and pursue positive impact on society and the environment.
Benefit Corporations are ones with modified obligations that commit management and the shareholders to higher purpose, accountability and transparency standards. For Cereal Docks, this common benefit commitment is split into 9 points:
