MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT GROUND LEVEL

Sustainability, biodiversity and animal welfare are at the heart of what we do and they are all inter-linked. The simple truth is that most of the positive changes we can make all begin at the farm, where the story of all our products begins. We work closely, every day, with our individual farmer owners, which in turn supports the cooperative. We have to do our part in reducing our environmental impact. Not only is this the right thing to do, it’s also demanded by our customers and expected by our consumers. Join us and you can help Agriculture make a practical, positive difference.

Being one of the world’s biggest companies comes with a massive responsibility. Or, as we see it, an obligation. Everyone is looking to us to set an example and we must lead the way in making a positive impact. We see a world where it is possible to drink a glass of milk with a good conscience, without worrying about the effect on the environment. With this in mind, in collaboration with our farmer owners, we intend to hit our target of a 30% reduction in on-farm carbon emissions per kilo milk by 2030.

Agriculture and farm sustainability is a such a broad and important topic. Especially at a time when climate change is so top of mind. Consequently, each day sees us interacting with so many important stakeholders – both internal and external – and touching many different parts of the business. Our farmer owners are naturally some of our most important stakeholders, and we play an important in managing the farmer owned democratic structure that makes Arla so special. In addition to this, your focus might be Arla’s carbon footprint or biodiversity credentials. Or it could be organic milk and added value milk programmes. Or, innovation initiatives on the farm. Or events or collaborations involving consumers.
