In 2000, Danish and Swedish dairy cooperatives merged to found Arla, following a long history of cooperative partnerships in Sweden and Denmark. With a focus on their farmers, and the nutritional quality of products, sustainability has been a key focus area of their business.
As presented in the graph below, Arla grew into a visible, varied, and accessible brand by building strong relationships in its home market, with exceptional salience amongst consumers. In 2020, they launched their first plant-based products, taking another step towards sustainability. By launching Arla’s climate ambition, Arla continues to tackle sustainability issues in their sector, including animal cruelty and climate change.
