Our path towards a sustainable future
Ever since our origins in 1920, we have believed that quality goes beyond just good taste. It is about caring for our products, our people and the world we live in. That conviction forms the basis for our renewed sustainability strategy: Vepo Forward.
Vepo Forward is not a separate programme, but an integral part of who we are and how we work as a family business. We are well aware that cheese, its processing, packaging and transport leave a footprint. It is our ambition to actively contribute to a world in which food supply is fairer, healthier and more future-proof. We want to not only meet expectations, but exceed them – by innovating, collaborating and taking responsibility for our impact.
At the beginning of 2025, we set renewed strategic objectives for 2028 within the four Vepo Forward pillars: “Sustainable product range and sustainable procurement”, “Circularity”, “Climate-neutral organisation” and “Safety, well-being and responsible conduct”. We have expressed our ambition to be a leader in sustainable packaging and the health and wellbeing of our employees by 2028. The strategy is built on trust: in our people, in our chain partners and in the power of continuous improvement. We look beyond our own organisation and take our position in the value chain seriously. Whether it’s developing more sustainable products or reducing our ecological footprint, we are working together to build a more sustainable future for tomorrow’s generation.
