Environment

Overview

Our goal is to safeguard the environment while continuing to grow as a world-class dairy processor. For us, this means:

• Meeting our compliance obligations
• Preventing pollution
• Reducing our impact on, and adapting to, climate change
• Using natural resources sustainably
• Protecting biodiversity and ecosystems
• Leveraging our capabilities as a business to create positive environmental actions.

To succeed on these fronts, all environmental efforts are underpinned by our Environmental Policy and overseen by our Environmental Committee and managed at the local level with the support from our divisional environmental teams.  

Following the completion of our 2025 environmental targets, we reviewed our environmental strategy in FY25 and established our 2030 Environmental Pledges. This evolution was informed by insights gained over the past five years, an assessment of our performance, and an evaluation of key environmental risks, challenges, and opportunities across our operations and value chain.

Our 2030 Environmental Pledges focus on the following areas:

• CLIMATE — Strengthening our climate ambition through science‑based targets covering Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.
• WATER — Reducing water use, with a particular focus on operations located in areas of high water risk.
• FOOD WASTE — Reducing food waste, with renewed emphasis on prevention and reduction at source.
• PACKAGING — Continuing efforts supporting our ambition for 100% of our packaging to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2030.
