We think responsibility is as important in food as good taste. That is why we use local raw materials and focus on creating permanent, climate-friendly operating models together with our farmers and other partners. Our goal is a carbon-neutral food chain by the end of 2040.
We aim to make our own industrial production carbon-neutral by the end of 2025 and to achieve carbon neutrality throughout the farm-to-consumer value chain by the end of 2040 at the latest.
We will grow as a food company in evolving sales channels and product categories preferred by consumers. We will utilise new commercial concepts and digital solutions.
CEO Tero Hemmilä’s video summarises our progress in January-March 2021: “The comparable EBIT was the best first-quarter result in six years. Comparable EBIT, rolling 12 months, rose to nearly 20 million euros at the end of the review period.”
