McDonald's has announced its "2014 Best of Sustainable Supply" award winners in a report highlighting how suppliers achieved significant results by identifying opportunities and applying sustainable solutions in diverse places across the world.
Arla has triumphed twice in The Grocer magazine’s Supplier of the Year awards. As well as picking up the award for best own label dairy supplier, it has walked away with the award for best branded chilled supplier.
Arla Foods has secured over 150 million litres of owner milk, in its latest recruitment initiative, just three months after 1,200 British farmers were offered co-ownership of Arla Foods amba.
Dairy cooperatives Eupener Genossenschaftsmolkerei Walhorn (EGM Walhorn) and Arla Foods amba have today announced their intention to merge. The Boards of Directors have circulated a proposal to their members and the boards of representatives of both companies are expected to vote on the proposal in mid May.
Arla has developed a global strategy for Sustainable Dairy Farming, focusing on animals, climate, nature and resources. The new strategy will further reinforce Arla’s position as a responsible company and assist Arla farmers with their ongoing work around climate, waste and animal welfare.
Arla published its Annual Report 2013 as well as its CSR report, revealing how the company lived up to its social, ethical, environmental and financial responsibilities. For example, Arla continued to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases – despite increasing production.
Arla Foods is raising its standard litre milk price for direct suppliers from 1 March 2014, to 33.50ppl.
Arla Foods announces that with immediate effect it will commit to purchase RTRS (Round Table on Responsible Soy) certificates to cover 100% of the soy used in cow feed by its farmers across Europe. This is part of the dairy cooperative’s on-going commitment to support sustainable soy production.
Today Arla Foods reports its 2013 results announcing its highest Performance Price ever in its history and an improved balance sheet. This is as a result of a strong European business and rapid growth in its growth markets outside the EU – at a time when Arla’s most important ingredient, milk, has increased in value worldwide.
Arla Foods UK is supporting the business requirements of the Arla Foods amba cooperative by processing German concentrated skimmed milk at Westbury, for up to a three-month period, from today.
Arla is investing £243 million to expand global production, and focus on the production of profitable export products, for the cooperative’s strategic growth markets outside the EU.
Further to last week’s announcement of a one eurocent increase in the Arla Foods amba milk price, the Arla Milk Link and Arla Milk Cooperative boards confirm that this equates to a 0.74ppl increase for the 2,800 British owners of Arla Foods amba, from 3 February 2014.
