Water efficiency

Water optimisation is, at all times, about expanding our ability to reuse and recycle water extracted from milk and whey and reducing our reliance on well water supplies. As our production grows, we are committed to driving circular water management to minimise the environmental footprint of our production sites.

Enabling water reuse at our technical water facility

Investments in a technical water facility reduce our dependence on well water at our two biggest plants in Denmark. The facility is part of the effort to cut water use and wastewater discharge as our business grows. Read more.

Our climate ambition

Arla Foods Ingredients is committed to the Arla Group ambition to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions by 63% in 2030 compared to our 2015 baseline. We will contribute to this target by driving the green transformation of our fully-owned production sites.

The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) has approved this target as consistent with the Paris Agreement ambition to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

The group-level target for scope 3 emissions is a 30% reduction by 2030.  

We are working with the Arla group to update this target in line with the SBTi Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) guidelines.
