Sustainable Valio

We want to be part of the solution to global challenges: we are aware of our environmental and climate impacts, and we take active measures to reduce them. And we are determined to improve animal and human welfare.

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. Co-operative foundation. Dairy farms own Valio through regional cooperatives. Choosing to buy a Valio product helps you to support a food producer.
  2. Animal welfare on Valio farms is good by international standards, and the milk we produce is among the cleanest in the world.
  3. Transparent sourcing. All Valio products are safe and traceable. Our suppliers and contractors are committed to our requirements of a sustainable operation.
  4. Innovations to promote health and well-being are built around listening to the customer and consumer, delicious taste and good nutritional values.
