Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
CSR cornerstones are:

- Sustainable Dairy Farming
Sustainable Dairy Farming is a DeLaval initiative to support farmers to do more with less. The goal is to reduce the environmental
footprint of farms, while improving milk production, farm profitability and the well-being of the people and animals involved.

- Food for Development.
Food for Development is an important part of DeLaval’s corporate social responsibility. The target is to achieve sustainable social and economic dairy development by promoting public-private partnership in developing countries. We are committed to helping customers, governments and community based organisations to provide milk to children around the world.
