Engro Foods is working on the retention of free grazing, continuous improvement of animal health and animal welfare, and the preservation of biodiversity. The aim is to reduce the use of scarce natural resources such as water, raw materials and fossil fuels. Engro Foods aims to keep the emission of greenhouse gases in 2020 at minimum levels. This also applies in case of an increase in milk production. This includes the greenhouse gases released at NARA dairy farms, as well as on the farms of our registered dairy farmers, during transport from NARA farm and Milk Collection Centres to production facilities and when the dairy is processed. To achieve climate-neutral growth, Engro Foods is working on creating an efficient and sustainable supply & production chain. These elements of the strategy are in line with two of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals: ‘Affordable and clean energy’ (SDG 7), ‘Responsible consumption and production’ (SDG 12), working towards nationwide go green drives to reduce impact of carbon emission for Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) , Protect the Planet (SDG 13) & improve Life on Land (SDG 15).
In order to realise climate-neutral growth, Engro Foods is working on several initiatives for an efficient and sustainable supply & production chain. This means sustainable dairy farms, sustainable purchasing of agricultural basic materials and reduction of the use of energy for the production of dairy products. Engro Foods is going green by converting to sustainable energy starting with our Milk Collection Centres on to solar panels and reducing the overall impact of carbon emissions on the environment.

Animal welfare and biodiversity play a very important role to achieve climate neutral growth. Engro Foods is working on the retention of free grazing, continuous improvement of animal health and animal welfare for the preservation of biodiversity. That is why we train 250,000+ dairy farmers nationwide on best dairy farming practices and animal welfare to increase their milk yield.
Periodic Farm Visit: visits by EFL veterinarian, the Milk Procurement & Agri Services team and the management of EFL.
Sustainable Dairy Chain Analysis: a full analysis of the dairy farming sector which gives an overview of the strong points and areas of improvement in the dairy farming sector (feed, water, housing, animal welfare, etc.).
In the framework of the objectives of the Sustainable Dairy Chain, Engro Foods stimulates dairy farmers to aim at better care and higher productivity of the cattle.
