At Lactalis, we firmly believe that dairy products play a vital role in a sustainable and balanced diet.
This belief guides and embodies our purpose: Nourishing the future!

Lactalis 2024 sustainability report highlights the concrete actions taken to address social, societal, and environmental challenges, thanks to the commitment of our employees.

A CSR Strategy Built Around 3 Pillars

Lactalis structures its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy around three fundamental pillars:

1. Commitment to People and Communities:
   The Group is strengthening its commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In June 2024, this policy was officially rolled out across the Group. It is based on two pillars (gender equality and inclusion) and eight concrete commitments, for which the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion working group is responsible for defining and proposing specific actions.
2. Offering Healthy, Tasty, and Accessible Products:
   Lactalis continues its efforts to offer healthy, tasty, and accessible products, and promotes a culture of taste among all employees through the Passion for Taste program.
3. Protecting the Planet and Its Resources:
   The Group is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions across scopes 1, 2, and 3, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The Lactalis animal welfare assessment program continues to be rolled out to partner farmers, with increased support for responsible farming practices and animal welfare.

Tangible Progress in 2024

In 2024, we made concrete and measurable progress toward sustainable development:

• • Validation of our carbon roadmap by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)
  • Launch of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policy
  • Participation in the creation of two new recycling streams in Europe
  • Expansion of our Animal Welfare policy to 10 additional countries

Lactalis Ingredients: A Committed Player

Lactalis Ingredients is a subsidiary of the Lactalis Group. As such, we share the same commitment to building a responsible future by working to reduce our environmental and climate impact and contributing to the health and well-being of people.

This commitment is reflected in concrete actions:

• • A reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions by 11.8% in 2024 compared to 2019, with the launch of solar and/or photovoltaic panels at our Walhorn, Villarrobledo, and Parma sites
  • Launch of a pilot project in partnership with a client to provide technical and financial support to around 200 French farmers to help reduce their carbon footprint
  • Deployment of managerial rituals across our industrial operations
