A turnover of 816 million euros , with 77 points of sale , 52 partners , 3 thousand employees , 287 local suppliers involved and more than 3 thousand local items marketed . And 3 large distribution centers in Monastir, Villacidro and Codrongianus, pillars for logistical efficiency to support the sales network. And a turnover of over 130 million developed thanks to synergies with local companies .

These are just some of the important numbers recorded in 2023 in Sardinia by Conad Nord Ovest , which confirms itself as a point of reference in the large-scale retail sector aimed at enhancing the excellence and small and medium-sized businesses of the area .

«At the center of our corporate strategy is the orientation towards sustainable and shared growth , a principle that guides us every day in our work», the words of Michele Orlandi , Sardinia Network Director. «In Sardinia – continues Orlandi – we have witnessed significant growth, both in terms of turnover and initiatives promoted in favor of the community . This shows how important it is to cooperate to create value and growth for our territory. We want to be recognized as a company that makes localism a lever of great distinctiveness and continue our growth path."

COLLABORATIONS – Among the successful collaborations in the area is the one with the “Ori di Sardegna” fruit and vegetable consortium, which «has traced a path of sustainable development, promoting innovation and strengthening our commitment to work ethics», explains the president of the Carlo Mudu consortium. «At a time when it is thought that the consumer is only interested in the price factor, leaving out elements such as the origins of the product and its ethical guarantees, it is essential for us small producers to have partners who put localism at the top of the scale of values attributable to the products. All this is strengthened with the birth and activity of the various “Ori Consortia”, which Conad had the intuition to create».

THE PROJECTS – Great attention is also paid to sustainable development and support for the Sardinian community through a series of distinctive projects that reflect economic, social and environmental responsibility . As in the case of the Tre Solchi Cooperative , created thanks to the commitment of the member Conad di Carbonia together with the local farmers of Sulcis, which made the sustainable cultivation of 250 hectares possible, producing quality food that enhances the biodiversity and traditions of the area.

Other initiatives include support for young patients in the pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease facility at Brotzu in Cagliari and projects against gender violence in collaboration with the DiRe Association. And also the training of young generations with the projects "Together for school", "Eating S'Impara" and the Unisona project, created in collaboration with the Conad ETS Foundation, which aim to strengthen the education of young people and their future .

At the same time, Conad Nord Ovest in Sardinia has promoted reforestation initiatives such as the "Bio Forest" together with Rete Clima and events such as the Joint Run 2023 in Cagliari and Ami-CA projects, demonstrating a deep commitment to community well-being and sustainability.
