Our footprint policy
At Laïta we embrace responsible behaviour to reduce our environmental footprint.
Reducing our environmental footprint
Fighting global warming
Laïta’s emissions targets have been officially recognised by the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) since 30 September 2024. This validation firmly commits us to combating climate change and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. We are aiming for a significant reduction in the upstream and downstream carbon footprint of our activities.
- Helping our dairy farmers reduce their net carbon footprint per litre of milk leaving the farm by 30% (Scope 3 FLAG) by 2030, compared to 2022.
- Reducing emissions from our industrial sites by 42% (scopes 1 & 2 FLAG) by 2030 compared to 2022.
- Reducing our purchasing emissions by 25% (scope 3 non-FLAG) by 2030 compared to 2022 levels.
- Obtaining ISO 50001 and 14001 certification for five Laïta sites by 2027.
Respect for life in our operations
We are stepping up our efforts to preserve biodiversity and prevent pollution together with our dairy farmers and stakeholders.
- Developing a biodiversity policy with our stakeholders by 2026.
- Starting and finalising a biodiversity assessment across all our industrial sites by 2026.
- Preventing any risk of accidental pollution that could harm the balance of the aquatic environment.
Limiting the use of resources
Our tangible commitments are focused on combating deforestation, eco-friendly product design and managing resources - especially water.
- Reducing our impact on the water cycle with a 25% reduction in water consumption by 2030 compared to 2018.
- Ensuring zero imported deforestation every year.
- Working with Duralim to improve the sustainability of animal foodstuffs every year.
- Training our staff every year in analysing the life cycle and eco-design of products.
Developing the circular economy
Our ongoing projects on responsible product packaging and waste management and our commitment to reducing food waste serve to illustrate the action we’re taking in favour of the circular economy.
- 100% recyclable and/or reusable packaging for all our packaging by the end of 2029.
- Reducing the carbon footprint of our packaging by 25% by 2030 compared to 2022 levels.
- Reducing our non-recyclable non-hazardous industrial waste by 2030 compared to 2024.
- Recovering/recycling 90% of our non-hazardous waste by 2030.
- Limiting food waste on consumer goods to less than 1% of volumes sold.
