We think in generations

We are aware of our responsibility as a family business. For us, sustainable business means that we do not base our decisions on short-term profits, but on whether they are right for future generations. We feel responsible for people and the environment. What we do, is done with regard to our children and grandchildren.

Environmental protection, economic and social sustainability are firmly anchored in the corporate philosophy of Hochland. That doesn’t just apply since yesterday: After all, Hochland was the first company in the dairy industry in Germany, whose production plant was certified according to the EU Eco-Audit Regulation (now EMAS) in 1996.

Hereafter, we introduce the sustainability activities of Hochland Deutschland GmbH. Because when it comes to sustainability, Hochland Deutschland with their production sites in Heimenkirch and Schongau play a pioneering role within the Hochland Group.

Of course, there is much more to tell: For more details on our targets, the measures we've taken to achieve them and previous achievements, please go to our Sustainability Report.

"Inspiring products and enthusiastic customers and consumers are the basis for economic success. In the long term, however, we will only be successful if we behave responsibly towards society and the environment."

Josef Stitzl, Member of the Managing Board of Hochland SE
