“The foundations of a healthy company depend on intellectual curiosity,
and that means attention to research and a commitment to continuous
investment in innovation. The objective: to achieve increasingly high
technological standards, thereby benefitting production. But the
development of technology and the consequent increase in production
mean nothing without respect for nature and a love of the environment in
which we operate. At San Benedetto, innovation is never a solitary process.
Each one of us contributes to the extent that our abilities and experience
allow. It’s this combination of individual contributions that gives a project

MISSION
Resources for life
Quality, innovation and respect for the environment
are the drivers of the success of San Benedetto
Learning from nature to create well-being: our guiding principle, which is
summarized in our mission statement, “Resources for Life”, has always
been the prime mover in the sustained growth of San Benedetto, and it now
points the way to the future. At San Benedetto our primary satisfaction is
in meeting the needs of consumers and their families while respecting the
environment and its resources.
Our commitment to the environment has its roots in a profound sense of
attachment to the territories in which we operate. It means combining
quality, safety and the ability to innovate with the reputation of a market
leader and the efficiency of a major company. We put all our know-how at
the service of our consumers: the latest technology for improved efficiency
of production processes, respect for the environment, and the quality,
safety and well-being that each of our products embodies.
That’s the mission and passion of Gruppo Acqua Minerale San Benedetto,
one of Italy’s top companies on the food and beverages market and the
leading Italian-owned soft drinks company.

Products and formats designed for kids
but popular with parents too
The family has always been one of San Benedetto’s principal consumer groups. And it’s present on
this market with a range of innovative products specially directed at younger consumers in terms
not only of product but also image. Our “San Benedetto Kids” range features products and formats
specially designed for kids but much appreciated by parents too: Baby Bottle water, Decaf Tea and
Baby Drink, with camomile.
San Benedetto is aware of the evolving demand for these products, and of the increasing demand,
especially among young parents, for information on topics such as food safety, nutritional value
and dietary issues. Packaging is an essential instrument for meeting these demands in a suitable
fashion.
SAN BENEDETTO KIDS
Targeting
consumers
from an early age
The packaging of products for children is designed to communicate with the consumer in a credible fashion that’s coherent with the San Benedetto image, and to convey a sense of reassurance
and peace of mind. Small, 0.25-litre bottles are a strong, eye-catching format for children, and
their contents are not only healthy but fun to drink. The Pull & Push cap, for example, is both functional and fun. Product portability and a label design that’s rich and colourful add to the pleasure
of drinking a tasty and healthy beverage at any time of the day.
All the products in San Benedetto’s Kids range are of the highest quality, with properties that are
absolutely essential for their target consumer. Bottling in a protected environment (for real added
value that means total protection), stringent quality controls at every stage in the production process, and fully traceable bottles are vital assets for cultivating and developing this market.

Lo sapevi che una vecchia bottiglia in PET può trasformarsi in una nuova bottiglia o in un oggetto utile per te?
Con il progetto sperimentale "Nuova vita al Pet", San Benedetto è promotore di un’iniziativa green,
a fianco della Regione Veneto e del Ministero dell’Ambiente, che coinvolge la grande distribuzione.
Da oggi, nei punti vendita aderenti, potrai trovare un eco-compattatatore San Benedetto in cui conferire
le tue bottiglie di plastica (PET) vuote di acqua minerale o di bibite, con la garanzia che il materiale
sarà riciclato e impiegato in un progetto che punta all’analisi e alla riduzione di emissioni di CO 2.
