SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 1 – 12 2025 AND AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
ACQUISITION OF BELJE, VUPIK AND PIK VINKOVCI FINALISED
For Podravka, 2025 was a historic year in which, in addition to its Food and Pharmaceuticals segments, the Podravka Group added another business pillar – Agriculture. The acquisition was completed on 31 January 2025, when Podravka acquired the agricultural segment of the Fortenova Group. Through the newly established company Podravka Agri d.o.o., in which Podravka holds 84.99% of the ownership and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) 15.01%, the companies Belje plus d.o.o., Vupik plus d.o.o., PIK Vinkovci plus d.o.o., Energija Gradec d.o.o., Belje Agro-Vet plus d.o.o. and Felix plus d.o.o. were acquired.
Agriculture has become the third pillar of Podravka Group's business, and Podravka Agri has taken over the management of agricultural companies.
The transaction value was EUR 333 million, for which Podravka secured EUR 283 million through a club loan from leading commercial banks in Croatia, while the EBRD participated with EUR 50 million. The partnership with the EBRD brings additional knowledge transfer, world best practices in agricultural systems management and strengthens corporate governance.
This acquisition further strengthened Podravka's position among the leading domestic companies. It also continues the cooperation with the Fortenova group, whereby Belje, Vupik and PIK Vinkovci maintain business relations with companies such as PIK Vrbovec, Zvijezda and Jamnica.
Podravka Agri has launched an investment cycle in the acquired companies with a focus on modernizing technology, irrigation systems and improving working conditions. Caring for workers and their material rights remain one of the key priorities. Also, cooperation with existing subcontractors continues, with the planned expansion of the supplier network, which further strengthens domestic production and the stability of the supply chain.
With this acquisition, a new chapter began for the Podravka Group, which, since the acquisition, has recorded revenues exceeding one billion euros and has more than 8,800 employees.
PODRAVKA ADOPTS NEW BUSINESS STRATEGY UNTIL 2030
After successfully implementing the Business Strategy until 2025, the Podravka Group has adopted a new Business Strategy until 2030, which encompasses all three business segments – Food, Agriculture and Pharmaceuticals – with the aim of continuing profitable growth, strengthening market positions and creating additional value for all stakeholders, including consumers, employees, shareholders and the community. The strategy is focused on growth based on productivity, innovation, sustainability and investments in modern technologies, with a strong focus on international expansion and competitiveness.
The strategy is based on a comprehensive approach to development – from expanding the strength, presence and recognition of brands, further investments in production capacities, especially in agriculture, digitalisation and the use of artificial intelligence, to strengthening the domestic raw material base and cooperation with subcontractors. The Podravka Group will continue to be a responsible and desirable employer that continuously invests in employee development, working conditions and salaries, and will continue to contribute to the community through various socially responsible projects.
With its business strategy until 2030, the Podravka Group clearly defines its ambition to be an even stronger international factor that relies on its own excellence, high added value and responsible business. In times of global challenges, Podravka positions itself as an agile company that leads production and business trends, in addition to following them in a timely manner.
PODRAVKA FOOD – INTERNATIONALISATION, VEGETA AS A GLOBAL BRAND, AND DOMESTIC RAW MATERIALS
In the Food segment, Podravka, as one of the leading food companies in Southeast Europe, with its new Strategy plans to further strengthen the presence and expansion of the Vegeta, Lino, Lino Lada, Podravka, O'Plant and Zik Zak brands in developed markets such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the USA and Australia, while continuing to maintain strong positions in Croatia and the region. The strategic focus in the coming period will be on categories with high sales potential and profitability – universal seasonings, soups, cereals (Čokolino) and creamy spreads. At the same time, a strong development of categories and brands whose potential has been strengthened through the recently completed investment cycle is planned, especially tomato-based products, ready-made meals, bakery snack, fish salads and frozen foods.
In the coming five-year period, the key strategic priority is to position Vegeta as a global brand through further internationalisation and expansion of the range of products placed on the international market under the Vegeta brand.
In the coming period, Podravka will continue to pay special attention in all business segments to business sustainability, a responsible attitude towards the environment and the promotion of healthy eating habits. This includes further increasing the production and use of domestic agricultural raw materials with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency in all raw materials whose cultivation is possible in the local climatic and agricultural conditions. Accordingly, the network of subcontractors in the production of fruits and vegetables will continue to be developed, while optimally exploiting synergies with own agricultural segment – Podravka Agri.
The strategy also includes strengthening digitalisation and automation, including the application of artificial intelligence in production processes, as well as developing a portfolio in line with food trends – healthier food, local and seasonal ingredients and healthy products adapted to a fast-paced lifestyle. Given that the investment cycle in the technological, logistical and IT modernization of Food worth EUR 250 million was completed at the beginning of 2025, investments in the next five-year period are planned at the usual level, which will ensure the efficient use of technology and adaptation to consumer needs.
PODRAVKA AGRI – EUR 200 MILLION OF INVESTMENT AND GREEN TRANSFORMATION
Podravka Agri – the newly integrated business segment – is at the centre of ambitious modernisation and sustainability plans. By 2030, investments of almost EUR 200 million are planned in technological development, energy efficiency, new farms and the expansion of the irrigation system. The goal is to increase the area under irrigation from 8% to 21% and maximize yields in crop and vegetable production.
In animal husbandry, the largest segment of Agri business, it is planned to build four new pig farms and increase the production of fattening animals by 20% per year, while in cattle breeding, it is planned to increase the production of fattened calves by 25%. Modernisation of farms will also include robotisation and biosecurity measures.
Podravka Agri plans to significantly increase the use of renewable energy sources and its own organic matter, as well as develop models of carbon-neutral agriculture based on a circular bioeconomy. The focus will also be on cooperation with subcontractors, strengthening brands such as Baranjka and ABC, and expanding distribution in Croatia and abroad.
PHARMACEUTICALS – BELUPO AS A EUROPEAN LEADER IN DERMATOLOGY
By 2030, Belupo plans to become a leading European expert in dermatology and a strong regional player in the field of OTC products, cardiology, psychiatry and neurology. The key growth markets are Central and Southeastern Europe, with a step forward into Western markets through dermatology and cooperation with partners.
The strategy includes investments worth EUR 36 million that will enable the increase in production and logistics capacities and the improvement of business efficiency. An integral part of the planned investments is an investment in the Centre of Excellence for Dermatology.
Belupo will also continue to invest in the development of sustainability, including the use of renewable energy sources and recyclable packaging, as well as strengthening ties with the local community. The focus is also on employee career development, the development of innovative products and strengthening communication with patients and healthcare professionals.
COMPLETION OF SALE OF CONFECTIONERY BUSINESS UNIT
Podravka and its affiliated company Žito d.o.o., Ljubljana, fully completed the transaction for the sale of the Confectionery business unit on 1 December 2025. The transaction included the brands Šumi, Gorenjka, Herba, Mistica and Bali, enabling Žito d.o.o., Ljubljana to focus on its core activity – bakery business. The purchase price amounted to EUR 8.6 million, increased by the value of inventory and net cash as at the closing date.
The newly established company UPI Star SEE Ljubljana, owned by UPI Star d.o.o., Sarajevo, acquired the entire confectionery business – a 100% share in Šumi Gorenjka d.o.o. – from Žito d.o.o., Ljubljana. The acquisition included employees, brands, and the Šumi factory in Krško and the Gorenjka factory in Lesce, with the intention of further developing and strengthening the business.
COMPLETION OF SALE OF DELTIS PHARM PHARMACIES
On 15 January 2026, Belupo d.d., as the seller, and the pharmacy chain Farmacia Holding d.o.o., owned by Atlantic Grupa, as the buyer, completed the transaction for the sale of Deltis Pharm Pharmacies, with a total value of EUR 10.9m (including the purchase price for the pharmacy business and the value of Farmacia's investment in the strategic partnership, i.e. commercial cooperation with Belupo over the next five years).
The decision to sell was the result of Belupo's strategic focus on allocating resources and investments to the development of its core business, in line with long-term objectives and sustainable business. The transaction covers a total of nine pharmacies, representing only a minor portion of Belupo's business, i.e. the Pharmaceuticals, and not forming part of its core activity, although they have contributed over the years to strengthening Belupo's brand recognition and the availability of high-quality pharmaceutical products. The sale creates additional room for a stronger focus on portfolio development and operational efficiency within the Pharmaceuticals segment.
Farmacia currently operates at 109 locations, including 58 pharmacies and 51 specialised stores (for over-the-counter medicines). With its longstanding presence and experience in the Croatian pharmacy market, it represents a strong partner committed to further investment and development of Deltis Pharm Pharmacies, while preserving their core values, including care for and retention of existing employees.
SEVENTH INCREASE IN SALARIES AND MATERIAL RIGHTS OF PODRAVKA AND BELUPO EMPLOYEES IN FOUR YEARS
Negotiation teams of Podravka and Belupo, together with representative trade unions – the PPDIV Union, the Independent Union of Podravka and the Podravka Group Workers' Union (SINPOD) – successfully concluded another round of negotiations on amendments to the Podravka Group Collective Agreement. As of 1 January 2026, salaries of Podravka and Belupo employees increased again, alongside improvements to other material rights.
Under the agreement reached, the basic gross salary for approximately 4,100 employees increased by 4.5%, resulting in an average increase of around EUR 70 gross. The new basic salary increase also establishes a higher base for calculating salary supplements, such as past work and shift allowances. In addition, maternity benefits per newborn child were increased to EUR 1,500. This is the seventh salary increase in the past four years, and since 2021, the average salary at Podravka has risen by more than 65%.
PODRAVKA AGRI AGREED INCREASE IN WAGES AND OTHER MATERIAL RIGHTS FOR ITS EMPLOYEES IN AGRICULTURAL COMPANIES
The negotiating teams of Belje, Vupik and PIK Vinkovci, within Podravka Agri, and the representative unions – PPDIV Union, HUS Union of Industrial and Trade Workers of Croatia and Slavonia-Baranja Union, completed negotiations in April 2025 on the extension of the existing collective agreements of the companies within Podravka Agri and agreed on new amendments to the collective agreements for a period of one year.
As of 1 April 2025, with the first payment in May, the salaries and supplements of the employees of Belje, PIK Vinkovci and Vupik increased, and other material rights were also improved. All employee rights agreed through collective bargaining also apply to employees of Energija Gradec and Belje Agro-vet, thus equalising the material rights of workers within Podravka Agri.
The basic salary of all employees thus increased by EUR 133 gross, which also had an additional impact on increasing salary supplements, such as, for example, the calculation of past work and supplements for difficult working conditions. In this way, the lowest salaries increased by about 16%, while the average increase for employees covered by the collective agreements is more than 10%.
An agreement was also reached on non-taxable awards, which total EUR 700 annually for each employee, and include Easter bonus, holiday pay and Christmas bonus. All awards are paid in cash.
In addition to increasing salaries and awards for employees, it was also agreed to increase the gift for children, the daily allowance and field allowance, the value of standby hours, as well as to introduce or increase the allowance for difficult working conditions in cattle and pig farming in PIK Vinkovci. An additional step was taken towards equalising salaries, salary supplements and other material rights between all companies, so that employees would enjoy the same rights for the same or similar work.
The agreement with all representative unions, the PPDIV Union, the HUS Union of Industrial and Trade Workers of Croatia and the Slavonia-Baranja Union, was concluded just over two months after the acquisition of the agricultural companies had been finalised, whereby Podravka once again proved its strong component as a responsible employer and a high level of competence in integration. As announced on 31 January 2025 when the takeover process was finalised, one of the strategic focuses of Podravka Agri, the company through which the agricultural segment of the Podravka Group is managed, is the improvement of working conditions and the material rights of employees.
STRONG INVESTMENT CYCLE IN PODRAVKA AGRI LAUNCHED
In 2025, Podravka Agri launched a strong investment cycle focused on modernising machinery and strengthening sustainability through renewable energy sources, thereby further increasing efficiency and technological readiness across its agricultural capacities.
As part of this investment, 22 new John Deere Series 6 tractors were delivered, intended for crop production, inter-row cultivation, crop maintenance and internal transport. Ten tractors were specially adapted for vegetable production in the areas of Vinkovci and Vukovar. All tractors are equipped with the advanced JD Link telematics system, enabling real-time monitoring and optimisation of operations.
The investment cycle was further reinforced with the delivery of the largest and most powerful tractors in Podravka Agri's history – two articulated John Deere 9R 540 models. With nearly 600 horsepower, these tractors enable greater precision and quality of work on large areas, along with easier manoeuvring thanks to their articulated design. They are specially equipped for night operations, featuring 18 working lights and an advanced cab with a G5 Plus command centre and the AutoTrac system.
In addition to machinery modernisation, Podravka Agri continues to invest in energy efficiency. Three new solar power plants were commissioned at Belje facilities – in Baranjka, at the Dairy products factory in Beli Manastir, and at the Belje Winery in Kamenac. The new plants produce 1.84 MWh of electricity annually for own consumption. Podravka Agri has thus reached a total of 16 locations using solar energy, significantly reducing operating expenses and increasing energy security through the integration of renewable energy sources into production processes.
Through these investments in state-of-the-art machinery and sustainable energy, Podravka Agri further strengthens its role as one of the key drivers of modern and technologically advanced agricultural production in Croatia.
IMPACT OF AFRICAN SWINE FEVER IN BARANJA
During the third quarter of 2025, the spread of the African swine fever (ASF) virus occurred in Baranja, significantly increasing the risk of infection around pig farms.
According to the decisions of the authorised veterinary inspections, all pig farms operated by Belje have a high biosecurity status. The existing biosecurity measures on all Podravka Agri farms fall into the category of the highest biosecurity measures in Croatia, including individual biosecurity plans for each farm. These plans define the procedures for entering the farm, which include strict hygiene protocols for personnel and disinfection of any objects brought onto the premises. Furthermore, farm employees are prohibited from owning pigs, living in households engaged in pig farming, participating in hunting or pig slaughtering, and must provide a written declaration confirming this.
Despite the enhanced biosecurity measures and continuous monitoring, a positive case of ASF was confirmed on the Sokolovac farm. Sokolovac farm is a specialised pig fattening farm representing the final stage of the production cycle, and there is no movement of animals from this farm to others. Following confirmation of ASF by the State Inspectorate, euthanasia of 9,829 pigs was ordered and carried out. After the findings, additional measures were implemented at the Sokolovac farm to further strengthen biosecurity at pig farms.
SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED TRANSITION OF THE EXISTING SAP SYSTEM TO SAP S/4HANA
The transition to the new SAP S/4HANA is among the most complex and important projects in the digital transformation of the Podravka Group. The project is worth more than four million euros and was successfully completed in the first quarter of 2025. It covered all business processes in 23 Podravka Group companies that had used the previous version of SAP ERP, including Belupo and Žito. This significant step forward has laid a solid foundation for further digitalisation and optimisation of business processes, enabling even greater connectivity, transparency and operational excellence.
SAP S/4HANA brings modern technology that enables faster, more efficient and more connected business. With the ability to analyse data in real time, automated processes and an intuitive user interface, this system lays the foundation for even better organisation and strategic decision-making. The changes mostly cover the areas of finance, controlling and sales. A selective transformation of the existing business processes was made while simultaneously optimising and improving processes and master data.
NEW TRANSPORT CENTRE OPENED
In April 2025, Podravka opened a new Transport centre in Koprivnica worth EUR 3m. It is a modern logistics facility that has further improved transport and distribution processes within the company, while increasing efficiency and optimising business operations.
This investment has also enhanced traffic safety and improved working conditions. This new facility, in synergy with the new logistics and distribution centre, forms a strong operational centre that further improves the efficiency of logistics processes.
The new Transport Centre is the latest investment made as part of the largest investment cycle in the history of the Podravka Group, worth almost EUR 250m, which, in accordance with the Business Strategy, was implemented in the period from 2021 to 2025. With this investment cycle, carried out without borrowings, Podravka has implemented a strong modernisation and transformation of its business – from investments in production capacities and process digitalisation, to increasing energy efficiency and improving working conditions.
Throughout the entire investment cycle, production capacities were modernised, new technologies introduced, working conditions improved, and foundations laid for long-term sustainability and growth. This resulted in a new Pasta factory, a new Tomato processing plant, 11 new production lines, 15 new packaging lines, a 13.2 MW solar power plant, a fully renewed company vehicle fleet, modern agricultural machinery, renovation of the corporate headquarters and other facilities, air conditioning of all plants, and the construction of a logistics and distribution centre with a capacity of 62,000 pallet positions, the largest single investment within the entire cycle.
PODRAVKA GATHERS SUBCONTRACTORS TO CELEBRATE RECORD TOMATO YIELDS
Podravka set a clear objective entering the new season – to exceed 40 thousand tonnes of tomato production and fully utilise the capacity of its new tomato processing facility in Varaždin. This target was ultimately surpassed. During the past season, Podravka produced approximately 5,400 tonnes of tomatoes on its own fields, while subcontractors delivered an additional 40,600 tonnes, bringing total production to 46 thousand tonnes – a new record and 50% higher yield than in the previous year.
The new tomato processing facility, opened in summer 2024, operated at full capacity and confirmed its value in its first year, enabling Podravka, with the support of its subcontractors, to achieve full self-sufficiency in tomato production. The previous year's output amounted to around 31 thousand tonnes, while the target for 2025 had been set above 40 thousand tonnes, which was successfully achieved and exceeded.
Cooperation with subcontractors continues to grow and has expanded across Croatia – from Istria and Međimurje to Podravina and Slavonia. A shared commitment to quality, investment in modern technology and stable partnerships have enabled Croatian tomato production to become competitive, sustainable and highly productive.
At the traditional gathering held at the Fruit and vegetable factory in Varaždin, Podravka celebrated the season's results with its subcontractors, awarding top tomato producers for the highest yields achieved. The importance of the contract farming network and contribution of individuals that cooperate with Podravka for many years have been specially highlighted.
PODRAVKA ACHIEVED HISTORIC SUCCESS AT THE COMMUNICATION DAYS
Podravka achieved historic success at 2025 Communication Days by winning a total of 11 awards – seven at the IdejaX competition and four at the Effie Awards Croatia. Of particular note is the recognition for Advertiser of the Year at the IdejaX competition, which further confirmed Podravka's creativity and innovation in advertising.
At IdejaX, a competition that rewards the most creative and original marketing campaigns in Croatia, two gold, three silver and two bronze awards were won, while at the Effie Awards Croatia, a prestigious competition that evaluates the effectiveness of campaigns, the campaigns won one gold and three silver awards. Among the awarded campaigns, the following stand out: "Everything tastes better with Vegeta", "Vegeta – Cooking is demanding", "Dolcela – We don't guarantee the look", "Fant is unmistakably fantastic", "Yummy for Podravka soup!" and "Domestic in the lead role", which were created in collaboration with the agencies Bruketa&Žinić&Grey, BBDO, Šanavala, Pink Moon, ZOO and other production, digital and media partners.
In addition to being a recognition for successfully implemented marketing campaigns, the awards are also a confirmation of Podravka's strategic focus on creativity and effective communication with consumers. This result further strengthens Podravka's position as one of the leading advertisers in Croatia and the region and emphasises the importance of cooperation with top creative agencies. In addition, these 11 awards won at one Communication Days are almost as many as at all ten previous ones combined.
The total number of awards won represents Podravka's greatest success at this prestigious competition so far, which is another proof of continuous investment in creativity and quality of communication.
PODRAVKA AGRI IS CROATIA'S LARGEST ONION PRODUCER
With a total of 75 hectares cultivated by Vupik and PIK Vinkovci, 3,500 tonnes of onions were delivered in 2025 to the specialised vegetable storage facility in Lipovac, which is the largest onion production in Croatia. The onions are stored at 3°C and are available for delivery throughout the year. This is particularly significant given that domestic production currently meets only one-third of national demand.
At the same time, 50 hectares of potatoes were planted, achieving an average yield of 55 t/ha, which is 50% above the EU average. Irrigation systems are key to achieving high yields, and Podravka Agri plans further expansion of cultivated areas and continued investments.
PODRAVKA REINSTATES WHEAT DELIVERIES BY RAIL
After more than 15 years, Podravka has once again begun receiving wheat deliveries by rail. This decision reflects the company's strategic commitment to strengthening agricultural self-sufficiency and adopting a more sustainable way of doing business.
To make this project possible, a complete revitalisation of the industrial railway track next to the Mill – Flour and semolina factory in Koprivnica was carried out. The restoration included replacing sleepers and switches, adding gravel, and cleaning the sections of the track. This created the necessary conditions for resuming the rail-based reception of raw materials.
The first shipment of wheat arrived in Koprivnica from Vukovar, in cooperation with Podravka Agri, with whom a contract for the delivery of first-class wheat had been signed.
By revitalising the railway track and resuming the rail purchase of wheat, Podravka further strengthens its strategic focus on sustainability, supply security, and support for domestic farmers.
PODRAVKA AND KRAŠ JOIN FORCES ON THE US MARKET
Two leading Croatian food companies, Podravka and Kraš, began business cooperation on the United States market at the beginning of June 2025. Long-standing business partners have now further strengthened their cooperation through a distribution partnership, in which Podravka's company Podravka USA Inc. has taken over the role of importer and distributor of Kraš products on the territory of the USA.
This cooperation represents a strategic step forward in strengthening the presence of Croatian brands on the demanding US market. Kraš's rich product range, which includes leading and innovative products, contributes to the expansion and enrichment of Podravka USA's portfolio, both in the ethnic offer segment and in an increasingly strong approach towards general consumption.
The aim of this cooperation is to achieve additional synergies in distribution, strengthen the market positions of both companies and strengthen the recognition of Croatian brands among consumers throughout the United States. By joining forces, Podravka and Kraš confirm the importance of connecting domestic companies in international business and contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of the Croatian food industry on the global market.
VEGETA LIGHTS UP TIMES SQUARE
With the aim of further strengthening brand recognition and global positioning, in October 2025 Vegeta appeared in the iconic Times Square in New York – the world's advertising centre and a stage reserved for leading global brands.
This activation further confirmed the strength and global relevance of Vegeta, a brand that has been an indispensable part of kitchens worldwide for more than 65 years. Vegeta's presence in Times Square symbolically reflects its position as a brand that connects flavours, cultures and generations, proudly carrying Croatian quality onto the international stage.
VEGETA AMONG THE STRONGEST BRANDS IN GERMANY
Vegeta has been recognised as Top-Marke 2025 – one of the most prestigious brand awards in Germany, awarded by the specialised portal Lebensmittel Zeitung. In competition with more than 5,000 brands, in 2025 Vegeta took the leading position in the spice category, which further confirms Vegeta's relevance and position in one of the most important European markets.
The recognition is based on independent research on consumer habits conducted by the YouGov CP Germany GmbH institute, specialised in online market research and data analysis. Measurable indicators are taken into account – growth in the number of customers, increase in market share and constant market presence.
THE "ZLATA BARTL" FOUNDATION REACTIVATED
Podravka's "Zlata Bartl" Foundation is entering a new phase of its activities with programs to support innovation, education and sustainability projects. After several years of inactivity, the Foundation was reactivated in spring 2025 and has entered a new development phase, focusing on financial support for innovative projects, women entrepreneurs and excellent students and pupils.
The Foundation is named after Zlata Bartl, a renowned scientist and Podravka employee who, together with her research team, in 1958 developed Vegeta, one of the most famous Croatian products. Her innovation, vision and dedication to scientific research inspired the establishment of the Foundation and the promotion of creativity, knowledge and innovation, which the Foundation wants to pass on to new generations through its work.
The Foundation focused its activities on two programs – "Power of Innovation" and "Young Leaders". The "Power of Innovation" program encourages the development of innovative solutions in the food and agricultural sectors, with an emphasis on sustainability and environmental awareness. Special attention is paid to projects by female entrepreneurs, with the aim of strengthening female entrepreneurship and reducing gender inequality. The "Young Leaders" program is intended for pupils and students who achieve excellent results in STEM fields. It supports projects and initiatives aimed at developing the knowledge and skills needed for future professions.
The call for applications within the "Power of Innovation" program resulted in twenty applications received, and the three highest-quality projects were selected for financial support totalling almost 65 thousand euros. The competition was intended for projects of female entrepreneurs that improve the agri-food sector with a special focus on sustainability, environmental protection and digital transformation.
Two calls for applications within the "Young Leaders" program were also successfully completed: one supporting pupils STEM competitions and another awarding scholarships to students who contribute to community development with their knowledge, dedication and vision, and demonstrate leadership potential in various fields. Ten selected students, who fulfilled the propositions and qualified, receive a monthly scholarship of EUR 250 for ten months, along with opportunities to participate in networking and knowledge-sharing programs with other students granted scholarships by the Foundation. Also, based on submitted applications and an evaluation process, financial supports were awarded for pupils STEM competitions: to the Fran Galović Grammar School in Koprivnica, the Association for the Promotion of New Technologies "Robofreak", the Association of Young Koprivnica Mathematicians, and the Croatian Mathematical Society for two competitions (the International Mathematical Olympiad in Shanghai and the Mathematics A-lympiad in the Netherlands).
PODRAVKA CONTINUES ITS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM "THE LITTLE SECRETS OF PODRAVKA'S GREAT MASTERS"
In 2025, Podravka continued to invest in the future of young people by opening a new round of scholarships through the program "The Little Secrets of Podravka's Great Masters". The program is designed to make everyday life easier for students during their education, encourage them to pursue vocational training, and offer them the opportunity for employment at Podravka after finishing secondary school.
The scholarship program for vocational students was launched in the previous school year, and three students granted the scholarship have already started their professional path at Podravka. The company continues to build its base of future experts, and a total of 31 students have been granted scholarship status, receiving financial support of EUR 1,800 during the school year, paid in ten monthly instalments of EUR 180. In the previous school year, 26 scholarships were awarded, and three scholarship recipients have already begun their professional careers at Podravka – two at the Vegeta, soups and pasta factory in Koprivnica and one at the Fruit and vegetable factory in Varaždin.
PODRAVKA AND CONSUMERS SECURED MORE THAN EUR 83,000 FOR EQUIPPING SCHOOL TRAINING KITCHENS
Podravka's campaign "Let's donate for schools and dishes that are loved" has secured the amount of EUR 83,189.95, donated to three schools to equip their training kitchens. In the period from 1 April to 30 May 2025, five cents from the sale of each Podravka tomato product and Zlato polje pasta were set aside and directed to the donation. The total donation amount collected was divided into three equal parts of EUR 27,730, allocated to three schools that won the most votes in the creative competition.
29 hospitality schools applied for the competition to receive the donation, and sent valid applications and videos introducing themselves. Citizens had the opportunity to choose between ten schools selected from all applicants by an expert jury. The highest number of votes for their video presentations were won by Petar Šegedin High School (Korčula), Ambroz Haračić High School Mali Lošinj and Crafts and Industrial School Županja, and thus a donation for equipping their training kitchens.
Social responsibility is an integral part of Podravka's business. Podravka is a socially responsible company that has been supporting and assisting various projects that contribute to the society and community in which it operates for decades. This action is just one in a series of such activities, and Podravka's work, in accordance with the adopted Sustainable Business Strategy until 2030, will continue in the future, through own projects, but also through support for humanitarian, economic, cultural, sports and scientific projects.
PODRAVKA CONTINUES TO INVEST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
In line with its long-term sustainable development and energy efficiency strategy, Podravka launched a new project titled "Solar Power Plant Podravka – Danica Phase IV Extension – LDC." The project continues successful investments in renewable energy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy independence and optimising operating expenses.
The solar power plant will be constructed in the Danica industrial zone, with a nominal capacity of 1,069.2 kW and is expected to generate 1,047,816 kWh of electricity annually, significantly reducing consumption from conventional energy sources.
The project is estimated to reduce CO₂ emissions by 160 tonnes annually, representing an important step towards achieving climate goals and environmental protection.
PODRAVKA GROUP COMPANIES AWARDED EMPLOYER PARTNER CERTIFICATE AGAIN
Podravka's commitment to achieving the highest standards in the field of human resources management was once again recognised in 2025. Thus, Podravka, Belupo, Belje, Vupik and PIK Vinkovci were awarded the Employer Partner certificate by the SELECTIO Group. Employer Partner is the most prestigious regional recognition for excellence in human resources management. The certificate is awarded to business organisations that have proven to meet high quality standards and the connection of practices throughout the entire human resources management system.
RECOGNITION OF PODRAVKA'S EXCELLENCE IN INVESTOR RELATIONS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
