At AIM-Progress we’re excited to kick off 2025 with an iconic company joining our growing membership. Ferrara Candy Company is now part of the AIM-Progress family, looking for support in rolling out their human rights governance framework across business functions, improving their grievance mechanism processes, and establishing a stronger supplier due diligence process.
Ferrara started out as an Italian pastry and candy shop in Chicago in 1908 and steadily grew its portfolio of candy and confectionery brands through innovation, mergers, and acquisitions. Today, Ferrara is a top player in the US candy industry with a global manufacturing footprint and international sales in Brazil, UK, the EU, and Canada
“Ferrara exists to inspire moments of sweetness, celebration, and connection and in doing so is dedicated to protecting our planet and its people. We are dedicated to respecting and upholding human rights within our own operations and throughout our value chain. We are excited to join AIM-Progress and look forward to partnering with peers to drive greater, positive impact.” – Martin Gavin, Director of Corporate Sustainability
AIM-Progress is looking forward to “sweet” collaboration with this historic brand.
