Valio is a brand leader and the biggest dairy business in Finland and a major player in the international dairy ingredients market. The company is owned by dairy cooperatives comprising some 5,500 dairy farmers. Farmers are devoted to their work and proud of the clean, high quality milk they produce. Come and meet the owners!
Milk of the highest quality
Valio milk ranks among the cleanest in the world, and we have zero tolerance for antibiotic residue in milk. Finnish cows are already the healthiest in the European Union, which is why, for example, we use antibiotics very little compared to other EU countries. Valio will pay one cent extra per litre to entrepreneurs who have proven themselves committed to responsible dairy production.
The Northenmost milk in the European Union is produced in Finland, Lapland, above the Arctic Circle. Watch this amazing video from the Northest Valio dairy farm:

Valio wants to create a manure ecosystem, i.e. a network in which the different players together pursue local and centralized solutions for manure processing.
In Finland, soy is rarely used in protein feed for cattle. But the responsibility programme of the Valio Group has a clear goal: to make the milk production chain completely soy-free.
The environmental impacts of meat and milk production are at the core of the discussion because ruminating cows create methane, a greenhouse gas. The current means to reduce methane have been exhausted so we need new climate actions.
