Sustainability Vision Grupo Lactogal – Responsible Food Production

The way we choose to build the future

At the Lactogal Group, we believe that sustainability is more than a commitment: it is the way we choose to be in the world and give meaning to what we do. This vision guides our actions at all stages — from origin to innovation, from people to communities — and materializes in a Sustainability Strategy that concretely reinforces the ambition to align economic performance, social responsibility, and environmental protection in a continuous journey of value creation that respects the planet and all who depend on it.

Over time, we have established ourselves as agents of positive transformation in the community and the agri-food sector, firmly maintaining our purpose: to care for the origin, support milk producers, promote Animal Welfare, value raw materials, and nourish Portuguese families in a healthy and responsible way, while simultaneously protecting the planet for future generations.

Our pillars of sustainability

Sustainability is present in everything we do, it is the guiding thread that connects the way we care for the origin, value people, act with integrity, and feed the future.

We want to be agents of positive change, contributing to an ethical, integral, and resilient value chain that respects the planet and future generations. Our Sustainability Strategy guides this ambition and is based on three structuring pillars, which guide our actions and reflect our commitment to leading a mobilizing agenda for a more sustainable future.

These pillars are supported by a strong corporate culture, continuous risk assessment, and investment in innovation and technology, which enhance competitiveness and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and resilient model.

We protect the environment

We work according to pollution prevention principles, efficient water and energy management, and responsible use of natural resources.

We invest in solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and ensure proper management of packaging and sensitive raw materials.

We develop products and processes with a lower environmental footprint throughout their life cycle, from the origin of raw materials to their use and proper disposal at the end of the cycle.

Our goal is clear: to contribute to a more ethical, regenerative value chain prepared for future climate and environmental challenges.

Our nature: working for the common good

For us, sustainable development starts with people. Therefore, we promote safe, dignified, and inclusive working conditions and labor practices that fully respect human and labor rights.

This responsibility extends to our entire ecosystem: we work with partners who share the same principles and collaborate in creating solutions that ensure fair remuneration, equal opportunities, and work environments where respect and ethics are non-negotiable.

We advocate for responsible, transparent relationships supported by a culture of integrity, continuous training, and professional appreciation.

We strengthen communities

We know that our growth is only truly sustainable when it generates lasting benefits for the communities where we operate.

We build close relationships with local institutions, municipalities, schools, companies, universities, social organizations, or others, promoting initiatives that stimulate economic development, education, inclusion, and well-being.

Whether through social impact projects or other contributions, we seek to support transformative causes and value volunteering as forces generating positive change, making the community where we operate more just and prosperous.
