Our commitment to sustainability
The agricultural production of a regional organic product protects the environment and resources. With the use of green electricity and the continuous improvement of our packaging, we can further reduce emissions. We also do not forget social values, because they are at least as important for sustainable development as ecological values.
Produced with green electricity
However, the fact that all our products are organic and regional is not enough for us, because that alone does not make our products sustainable. In order to further reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, we work exclusively with green electricity in our production.
Always improving packaging
We are aware that packaging is ecologically problematic and represents a major challenge in tackling our environmental problems. We know that we have a responsibility to contribute to the reduction of packaging waste. Because we take this responsibility seriously, we are constantly trying to optimize our packaging.
For example, by using a cardboard-plastic combination. A sustainable packaging solution that consists of a plastic cup and a cardboard wrap. If the two materials are separated before disposal (which is very easy to do!), they can be fully recycled. This type of packaging also requires up to a third less plastic and has up to a fifth less CO2 emissions compared to a directly printed plastic cup.
Long-term relationships and social commitment
We are aware that sustainability is more than ecological commitment. Because social values are at least as important to us as ecological ones, the appreciation of our employees, flexible working hours, fair pay as well as training and further education opportunities are a matter of course for us. We also work on an equal footing with all external partners, whether customers, suppliers, media or authorities. We have always had long-standing relationships with our farmers.
Sustainability goals 2027 and 2050
As a milk processing company, we are always dependent on the availability of natural resources, such as clean water and fertile land. An intact environment is therefore one of our most important fields of action. Because if we do not take care of our natural environment now, we will no longer be able to enjoy life in the way we know and appreciate it today.
As part of the Emmi Group, we have set ourselves three key sustainability targets for the period up to 2027:
- Reduce our CO2 emissions by 60 %!
- Make our packaging 100 % recyclable and halve the amount of waste and food waste!
- Reduce our fresh water consumption!
To achieve this, we are constantly analyzing our entire value chain and implementing further measures.
Our long-term goal is to achieve CO2 neutrality by 2050 and at the same time drive forward the circular economy in our company. In doing so, we are focusing on the areas of action of employees, society and the environment.
