2019: Our most sustainable Emmi moments

Companies are often managed using quantitative targets – sales, profit and profitability. These are important for Emmi as well. But, for us, quality is of equal if not even greater importance. By this we mean not just quality of our products, but also the quality of relationships within the workforce, with customers, with suppliers and consumers. This quality is difficult to measure. But it can be identified at special moments. We as a company want to make a targeted effort to create such moments. And that includes the area of sustainability. That is why we asked our employees: “What is your sustainable Emmi moment?"

Employee's choice – Kaiku (ESP): Focus on organic waste

The wastewater produced by a dairy always contains large amounts of organic waste. These are filtered out and recycled or disposed of separately. At Lácteos de Navarra (“Kaiku”), the water content of this sludge has been massively reduced, halving freight and reducing disposal costs by around 75,000 euros a year.
