Our love for milk
The story of FrieslandCampina and our relationship with milk began in 1871. This was the year farmers decided to join forces in the predecessor of our today's cooperative. By doing so, they could strengthen their market position and ensure sales of their milk. Today, FrieslandCampina is one of the world’s largest dairy companies. Every day, we provide millions of consumers all over the world with valuable nutrition from milk. Not only in the form of milk itself, but with all kinds of dairy products we make from milk.

Sustainability and Nutrition
As a nutrition company with a strong core in dairy, we want to provide good nutrition for the world. This comes with challenges for us and for our farmers. For instance, how can our farmers ensure that they produce milk in a way that is good for the planet itself? We are working hard to reach agreements and achieve our goals regarding sustainability.
