## Sustainability work is a collaborative effort

The sustainable business focus areas define the themes that are the priorities of Valio’s sustainability work and targets. We have set targets for each focus area, we monitor them regularly, and we communicate information about their progress in our Sustainability Report.

We have defined a sustainability governance model. Material impacts, risks and opportunities are taken into account in the company’s strategy in line with the strategy process.

Because milk is central to Valio’s operations, we want to encourage dairy farmers to adopt responsible practices. This is the goal of Valio’s primary production sustainability programme and the sustainability bonus paid to dairy farmers.
