We consider ourselves an active participant in the communities in which we operate. This involves communicating our core values to employees, farmer owners, customers, consumers and other relevant stakeholders.

We aim to operate our business in a responsible manner that supports the company’s reputation and long-term performance, while taking into account people and business development.

We support the UN's sustainable development goals

In September 2015, the UN adopted 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The SDGs take a broad perspective and are relevant for all countries, rich as well as poor. For these goals to become reality, all countries, businesses and organisations should embrace whatever change is necessary.

For Arla, the journey has already begun. While we support all SDGs, we focus our efforts on the goals, where we can do the biggest impact. These are goals 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, and 17.
