October 4th – World Animal Day

Animal welfare is an important part of the Lactalis Group’s corporate social responsibility. As a leading dairy company, we care every day about the welfare of the animals that provide the milk for our products.

It is scientifically proven that the quality and quantity of milk directly depend on the living conditions of cows. Therefore, we adhere to the principles of the “Five Freedoms” concept, which defines the basic conditions for a decent life for animals:

1. Freedom from hunger and thirst
2. Freedom from discomfort
3. Freedom from pain, injury and disease
4. Freedom from natural behavior
5. Freedom from fear and stress

These principles are the foundation of our daily work. Because caring for animals means caring for quality, ethics, and the future.
