Concrete Social Commitment
Pastificio BIA has always sought to create synergies with various entities, both economic, social and institutional, operating in the territory. In fact, it is among the first companies to establish the Madonie Producers Consortium, a consortium of agri-food companies born from the desire to promote and enhance the typical products of the territory made by hand by companies operating in the Madonie area.
Since its inception, Pastificio BIA has adhered to Addiopizzo, the Association that deals, in addition to providing free assistance to victims of extortion, with critical consumption as the main strategy in the fight against the mafia. To date, BIA products are also on sale in the Addiopizzo Store circuit (including online) and one of our members actively participates in the hearings requested by those who want to join the network.
Since 2019, it has started producing organic dry pasta for Libera Terra (Libera Terra Mediterraneo Social Cooperative Onlus Consortium), processing durum wheat semolina from Southern Italy from lands confiscated from the mafia.
It also collaborates, since its establishment, with the Verbumcaudo Social Cooperative, which manages the agricultural fund of the same name that until 1983 belonged to the Greco mafia family and that, thanks to the investigations of Judge Giovanni Falcone and its first confiscation, was then acquired by the real estate assets of the Sicilian Region and today entrusted to the young people of this cooperative. From these lands today comes the organic artisan pasta Feudo Verbumcaudo produced in Pastificio BIA on behalf of this young reality.
Currently, together with two other cooperatives/non-profit organizations, operating in the social and training sectors, and in agreement with the Ucciardone “C. Di Bona” Detention Center, the company is carrying out a training, social inclusion and job placement program for thirteen detainees, through the reactivation of the Laboratory-Pasta Factory located inside the Detention Center, for the production and packaging of food pasta (fresh and dry). The goal is to create an entrepreneurial reality that can generate opportunities for training, work and social inclusion for the detainees involved in the production activity.
