About us

Our purpose: Nourishing by nature

We have a long history and exist in a cooperative tradition. A cooperative cannot thrive with a focus on the short term. That is why we are future focused. We do that for our consumers, our customers, our farmers. And for the world.

Our purpose is the force behind all choices that we make

Everything we do at FrieslandCampina is guided by our purpose, Nourishing by nature. With our purpose we strive for:

  • Better nutrition for the world

    We contribute to food safety and food security for millions of people all over the world by providing them with access to dairy.
  • A good living for our farmers

    We pay an exemplary milk price and this way enable member dairy farmers to maintain healthy farming operations. In addition, we support local dairy farms in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe.
  • Now and for generations to come

    We assume responsibility for maintaining the natural living environment. This is the basis and the future of the company and the world at large. Furthermore, we encourage member dairy farmers to operate their farm in balance with nature and climate.

Our DNA

Our DNA means that by our very nature we rely on cooperation. We work together with partners and create coalitions with governments, customers and NGOs for the purpose of collectively adding value. We believe that working together enlarges and accelerates our innovative strength. This way we contribute to developing new standards for a dairy sector that over the long term offers better nutrition in balance with nature to a wider public throughout the world. For us, this “cooperative sustainability” is a key pillar of our purpose nourishing by nature.
