On the Farm & at the Factory

Ensuring a sustainable dairy industry is a central component of our development—supported by farmers, plant employees, and external partners.
Environmental responsibility is firmly anchored in our Strategy 2030. We are working to reduce emissions throughout the entire value chain, measure progress against clear criteria, and ensure transparency in our efforts—for example, through energy and water efficiency projects as well as practical initiatives on farms.
Animal welfare is also essential to us. Together with our dairy farmers, we are continuously improving housing, feeding, and management practices in accordance with recognized standards. In this way, we combine environmental, economic, and animal-related aspects into a holistic approach.
