"Lactalis Canada's 2021 ESG Report serves as a clear roadmap; one that embraces our key stakeholders, including our people, consumers, customers, suppliers, dairy farmers, government and industry partners to join us on this important journey and make a positive impact on the wellbeing of our communities and the planet," said Mark Taylor, President & CEO, Lactalis Canada. "This is the first step in a multi-year transformation plan that we expect will manage future risks and reflect the growth, evolution and innovation of our business. It will enable us to take proactive, sustainable and responsible action towards the ESG challenges and opportunities ahead of us."

Lactalis Canada's report is directly aligned with the company's global ESG framework set by Lactalis Group, focusing on three key pillars of impact: 1) People & Communities; 2) Authentic Products & Heritage; and 3) Land & Resources.

"While we aspire to achieve ambitious and important goals, we are also realistic and understand that our journey will require us to take some smaller but equally important steps in the short term, if we are to build the pathways to longer-term benefits," continued Taylor. "Our focus is on the journey and not simply on the destination. We know where we want to get to and each tangible gain will serve as an important marker as we strive to be better each and every day."
