Mission & Goals
The Dutch Dairy Association (Nederlandse Zuivel Organisatie, NZO) is an association of the Dutch dairy industry, representing the interests of thirteen dairy companies. Combined, these companies process 98% of the milk in the Netherlands into a wide range of dairy products: from beverages, infant formula and children’s food, cheese and desserts, to ingredients for the broader food industry and the pharmaceutical sector. The NZO aims to reinforce its members’ abilities to produce and market their products. To reach this goal, NZO can be found in The Hague and in Brussels, and it also participates in public dialogue.

Communication Activities
The NZO and LTO Netherlands have developed the Sustainable Dairy Chain (Duurzame Zuivelketen), an initiative which brings dairy companies and dairy farms together to build a future-proof dairy chain for both the market and society. The dairy sector wants to develop in a responsible way, with respect for animals, the surroundings and the environment. To support this, the Sustainable Dairy Chain has established concrete objectives in the areas of climate and energy, animal health and welfare, grazing, and biodiversity and the environment. The research institute LEI monitors progress and publishes results each year.
