Presenting Croatia’s Largest Food Company with ISO 50001 Certification

July 17, 2025

We were thrilled to present Croatia's largest food company – Podravka d.d. – with its ISO 50001 certificate. This makes it one of the few food companies in the country to have implemented an advanced energy management system.

A commitment to energy efficiency

DSc Nina Puhač Bogadi, Business Process Management Director at Podravka, commented: “We are overjoyed to receive this recognition. Introducing the standard confirms our commitment to continuously improving energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

“This achievement is the result of the joint work, knowledge and engagement of all employees, with support from the external company, Adria Quality, and the certification company, SGS, which confirmed our compliance.

“We thank them for their exceptional dedication and expertise, as well as all the employees who actively participated in implementing the new system, through their knowledge, engagement and cooperation.”

Drago Goić, Managing Director at SGS, added: “It was an absolute pleasure working with Podravka and we wish them all the best for the future. By introducing ISO 50001, Podravka can strengthen energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption and operating costs through systematic monitoring and optimization of energy processes and resource use.”
