For years, packaging has been used for its emblematic functions and is considered a symbol of protection and practicality for our consumers. Today, packaging is also a major source of waste. The way we produce and dispose of packaging is over-consuming our planet's natural resources, threatening the environment and biodiversity. Packaging is fundamental to maintaining the highest quality and food safety standards for our inherently fragile dairy products. It allows us to offer all the nutritional benefits of dairy products to as many people as possible, at any time and in any place.

Therefore, in all our geographical areas of operation, we believe it is our responsibility to share our vision and engage with our stakeholders to raise awareness and promote innovative solutions for a more circular packaging economy.

To achieve our ambitions, we have set targets: all our packaging will be eco-designed and we aim for 100% recyclable packaging by design by 2025. As well, each package will carry information on waste management, to better guide consumers.
