Our Way Matters

At Ornua, we have a responsibility in playing our role in safeguarding the Irish dairy industry for generations to come.

Our vision is to have an inspiring and robust sustainability framework deeply embedded across our Group that empowers our staff, provides leadership to our members and supports our customers so that, together, we can safeguard the Irish dairy industry for future generations. ​

Our Way Matters, our Group sustainability framework, sets out the positive steps we are taking to reach our sustainability goals. Each goal set out under the Our Way Matters framework is aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are a global vision set out by the United Nations to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all by 2030.

The Our Way Matters framework contains three pillars; Our Way of Farming, Our Way of Operating and Our Way of Supporting. Each pillar sets out positive environmental, economic and social initiatives that benefit our environment, our business and our community.
