Valio USA

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
