SUSTAINABLE VALIO

Food consumption and food production have globally significant impacts on the environment, society, animals and people’s lives. We want to do our part in solving global challenges.

TO US, SUSTAINABILITY IS THE CONCRETE ACTIONS FROM THE DAIRY FARM TO THE DINNER TABLE

Our nutrition innovations improve health, and delicious flavors can bring friends together around a common table. Finnish milk producers own Valio through cooperatives, and it’s to them that we pay our profits to. This is our way of making sure that we have access to locally produced food whose origin we know.

A goal-oriented sustainability program is a part of our strategy. We have identified the essential areas of focus for our stakeholders and for Valio’s business operations

  1. Sustainability management. Responsibility for the environment, the economy, people and society is embedded in everything we do.
  2. Climate and nature work. Valio works together with partners across the entire value chain to drive science-based climate action and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  3. Animal welfare. Animal welfare is at the foundation of our operations.
  4. Resource efficient production chain. A sustainable food system minimizes environmental impacts.
  5. Wellbeing from food. Valio’s product development is rooted in wellbeing.
  6. Dairy farmers.Valio has strong cooperative roots. We create value for the milk produced by Finnish dairy farms.
