In the short video we have posted on our YouTube channel, you can see first-hand what CAPSA FOOD’s involvement in the Climalact project entails.
CAPSA FOOD, based in Siero (Asturias), is a leading national dairy company and a market leader in the sale of liquid milk, cream and butter. It was the first Spanish dairy company to obtain B Corp certification, a recognition that accredits its commitment to generating positive social and environmental impact, meeting the highest standards in social, environmental and community performance.
Its business model is underpinned by a Comprehensive Sustainability Plan that spans the entire value chain, from the source at livestock farms — as its own shareholders are livestock farmers — to the end consumer. Its main strategic pillars are supporting rural areas and combating depopulation, promoting consumer health, creating quality jobs and caring for the environment.
Furthermore, CAPSA FOOD is driving innovative projects to transform the agri-food sector towards a healthier and more sustainable model. Its involvement in the project is crucial, as it is an agricultural processing cooperative comprising thousands of livestock farmers and one of the dairy companies with the largest number of small and medium-sized livestock suppliers
The results of Climalact will help to strengthen the future of the Spanish dairy farming sector. Furthermore, the company will work to pass these advances on to the end consumer through traceability systems, transparently communicating the environmental indicators, climate change actions and biodiversity protection measures associated with its products.
