Since 1998, our enhancement program the “Route du Lait” focuses as much on the quality as the sustainability of our farming methods. Now, each of our 17.000 farmers is committed. They are supported by our 58 dairy counselors.
It is a pioneering and unique action at SODIAAL which allow us to make sure our farms are run under the right principles in order to obtain an excellent quality of milk.
This strategy lies on 5 aspects:

• Human solidarity
• Milk tracking
• Animal’s well-being
• Environmental protection & care
• Sustainable agricultural plan

Every 3 years, each of Sodiaal’s 9564 farms are audited on the 78 control points of the “Route du Lait”. At Sodiaal, we believe it’s the care and respect that make our products so good.

Sodiaal is committed to promoting a more sustainable agriculture thanks to a solid plan based around 3 key points that oversee the whole value chain:

1. Future orientated livestock farming

• Good for people: Value creation and sharing, installation of young farmers, territorial life, process of progress
• Planet friendly: Climate, biodiversity, resilience and autonomy
• Animal Care: Health, Well-being, prevention

2. Milk valorizing products

• Offer the best to our consumers: quality, nutrition, naturality
• Reduce our environmental impact: Energies, water, packaging, food waste
• Adopt a responsible purchasing policy

3. A proud and committed community

• Place people at the core of our organization: security, listening and life’s quality at work
• Reinforce pride and community spirit
• Develop assets: path, trainings, youth integration
