🌱 Another step forward in our climate plan: carbon sequestration in permanent grasslands! 🌱 FrieslandCampina has launched a 10-year project, approved by Stichting Nationale Koolstofmarkt (SNK), to sequester CO₂ in soils with permanent grassland. Through this project, FrieslandCampina aims to remove an estimated 17.5 kilotonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere over the next decade. Carbon sequestration involves capturing carbon from the air and storing it in the soil. By maintaining grasslands, dairy farmers can actively contribute to reducing CO₂ in the atmosphere. Together with 20 member dairy farmers, we manage a total of 780 hectares of grassland, making this the largest carbon storage project in permanent grassland on mineral agricultural soils in the Netherlands. With support from the SNK, we have received validated certificates for this important step towards a more sustainable dairy chain. Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eCYCTsgZ

Just opening a new week with the Global Leadership Conference of FrieslandCampina coming up in Amsterdam…..however, I just wanted to come back to the highlights of last week. Starting the week in Munich for private reasons, moving to Budapest to be present at the LEAD Network Global Conference whilst ending the week in Milano to spend some time with the Italian Professional team. Let me highlight the visit in Budapest; the LEAD network is our DE&I partner, dedicated to leading sustainable change in diversity, equity and inclusion. The conference enabled us to connect to 800+ passionate leaders committed to leading sustainable change and participate in the movement towards creating diverse and equitable workforces where everyone can strive. I was there with a group of enthusiastic frontrunners in our company to be inspired and apply best practices back home at RFC. This change is critical to accelerate at RFC and is something I truly believe in. The CEO dinner on Tuesday and the round table on Wednesday triggered great dialogues to discuss progress in this field. I return home with a task to understand even better where we lack driving equality for our organisation. There are so many differences of people that we need to understand in order to build a place where we can all be our best selves. The discussions, made me feel very humble again that we do our best but that we need to do more and faster. Count on my help at RFC! To be continued. Thank you to our passionate front running leaders Merel van Dorp but also LEAD Network Europe and Mario Brand. #DEI #ThePowerofWe #FrieslandCampina PS Team Italy - thank you for our great connect and very happy with your 2024 delivery, but also your future outlook! We are winning and will continue to win in Italy. Special thanks to IOANA IONESCU and Marloes Schulte!

Especially in Yucatán, Mexico, this cheese - also known as queso de bola - is an absolute hit! 🤩 On almost every street corner you can buy 'marquesitas', a type of rolled crepe filled with condensed milk, chocolate, fruit and a generous amount of grated El Gallo Azul cheese.

Last week we have officially opened the innovative HighLift heat pump at our Maasdam plant. 🎉 This marks a major milestone in our efforts to decarbonize our production processes and reduce energy consumption. As Gerrit Westhoff, our Global Supply Chain Sustainability Director, highlighted: "This technology fits perfectly into our strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping us reach our target of a 63% reduction by 2030 I our supply chain compared to 2015. By deploying innovative solutions like the HighLift heat pump from Olvondo, we’re cutting energy use with approximately 6% and CO2 emissions by approximately 15% in Maasdam." A huge thanks to Olvondo Technology AS for being a key partner in our sustainability journey. 🌱 #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #Innovation
