BRANDED GROWTH
ACROSS MOST MARKETS
In 2020, our brands grew considerably in
almost all markets. The many consumers
lunching, cooking and baking at home
had a positive impact on particularly
LurpakⓇ, which grew sales by 14.6 per
cent after a record-year in 2019, and also
the Arla® brand and PuckⓇ delivered solid
growth of 3.0 and 11.7 per cent
respectively. Early concerns of less
on-the-go coffee occasions were
disproved as StarbucksTM witnessed
double-digit growth driven by the core
markets Europe and MENA. CastelloⓇ
ramped up their digital campaigns and
more than tripled the number of people
they engaged with in 2020.

CONTINUING OUR
SUSTAINABILITY ACTIONS
ON FARMS
While keeping operations running during the
pandemic, we managed to continue, together
with our farmer owners, the planned sustainable
actions on farms. With an updated version
of our comprehensive herd management
programme ArlagårdenⓇ, we made it
mandatory for farmers to assess their herds
and facilities every three months. At the same
time, we launched the first Europe-wide,
incentivised Climate Check programme. With
93 per cent of farmers having submitted
climate data, we are in the process of building
one of the world's largest sets of externally
verified climate data from dairy farming to
achieve our ambitious targets of reaching
30 per cent less CO₂e emissions by 2030 and
working towards carbon net zero by 2050.

ACCELERATING
SUSTAINABILITY WITH
THE ARLAⓇ BRAND
The Arla® brand continuously takes actions
towards becoming more sustainable. Across all
core markets, we presented new concrete
initiatives and ran sustainability campaigns under
the Arla® brand to create awareness of these.
The activities included several new packaging
solutions, for example a new 100 per cent
recyclable Skyr bucket consisting of 40 per
cent less plastic and emitting 30 per cent less
CO2. We also introduced carbon compensated
organic milk in Denmark following a similar
launch in Sweden last year. With continued
strong focus on animal welfare, we were happy
to achieve 2 hearts out of 3 for Arla® fresh milk in
the Danish governmental animal welfare label.
