Our vision and mission

Our mission is to drive progress for our business partners and the global dairy industry.

Our purpose is supported by five corporate values: teamwork; commitment; professionalism; continuous improvement;
and responsible leadership.

Everything we do at Interfood is focused on value creation. We build on our team’s knowledge, expertise, and networks to realise our value propositions to meet and, wherever possible, exceed the expectations of our stakeholders and society.
Our value creation model connects inputs—human, intellectual, financial, natural, and social and relationship capital—with outputs, sustainable outcomes and solutions, and positive impact on the SDGs, aligning economic and ecological value with our purpose, ‘Together for better’.
How we engage with our stakeholders
Stakeholder engagement is a vital component of our business. We strive to build and maintain strong relationships with all stakeholder groups to ensure they are up-to-date on our business developments, and to address their interests, needs, and expectations.
ESG
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are an integral part of our business strategy. We strive to minimise our environmental footprint, promote a positive workplace culture and maintain the highest ethical standards.
“Sustainability and the transition to net zero are of increasing importance to our customers, manufacturers, farmers, and future generations. Partnerships and our position in the centre of the supply chain are key on this important journey”
