Arla Foods launched their new environmental strategy in 2019, with three overarching goals: Better Climate, Clean Air and Water and More Nature. Arla strive to be carbon net zero by 2050, including the farm level, and achieve nutrient cycles in balance and to contribute to biodiversity and ecosystem services such as access to nature. The goals set were based on research findings in a thorough environmental profit and loss study within the company, matched against planetary boundaries at risk from food production, the Sustainable Development Goals and international agreements made by governments in their core production countries in NW-Europe. Expert consultations were held and, being a farmer owned cooperative, with their owners. In addition, they set Science Based Targets for the climate impact reductions until 2030, where they committed to contribute to the achievement of the Paris Agreement. The execution of the environmental strategy will be ensured by setting 5-year targets, delivering on the goals, and by incorporating them into the annual business-planning process for the different company functions. The strategy emphasises three principles of relevance to achieving the goals; from fossil to renewable, circular economy and cooperation in the value chain. Arla Foods funds and engages in research projects to achieve the objectives, including how to further improve environmental sustainability at the farm level as well as the important role of dairy in sustainable diets, now and for the future.
