Mission & Goals
Our purpose: Nourishing by nature. We have a long history and exist in a cooperative tradition. A cooperative cannot thrive with a focus on the short term. That is why we are future focused. We do that for our consumers, our customers, our farmers. And for the world. With our purpose we strive for: 1. Better nutrition for the world: We contribute to food safety and food security for millions of people all over the world by providing them with access to dairy. 2. A good living for our farmers: We pay an exemplary milk price and this way enable member dairy farmers to maintain healthy farming operations. In addition, we support local dairy farms in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. 3. Now and for generations to come: We assume responsibility for maintaining the natural living environment. This is the basis and the future of the company and the world at large. Furthermore, we encourage member dairy farmers to operate their farm in balance with nature and climate.
