Arla Foods amba - Creating the future of dairy
Part of our DNA is a constant aim to progress and create something greater and better. Since the cooperative movement began 130 years ago, milk producers have worked together to create a common future in the dairy industry. Their achievements over the years have laid the foundations for Arla Foods today, which is now one of the world's leading dairy companies. Every day, we seek to refine what we deliver and develop solutions for the future. These may take the form of new products and new inspiration for our consumers. New technologies and more effective ways of working. More value in the collaboration with our customers. Healthier and more natural foods. Greater social responsibility. A reduced impact on the environment and climate. Improved food safety. We will not only follow others in the dairy industry - but also help to shape its future, and participate actively in developing the dairy structure of tomorrow and creating new trends in dairy consumption. Therefore, we will keep asking ourselves how we can set the standard for the dairy activities of the future. Are we first? Are we best? Can we research and develop our professional field even more than we do today? Can we challenge ourselves and each other more? We want to do our best and realize Arla's full potential.
