Accountant

The external accountant of FrieslandCampina is PriceWaterhouseCoopers. [13]

Operations

FrieslandCampina is fully owned by Zuivelcoöperatie FrieslandCampina U.A., with 16,995 members, of which 11,100 dairy farmers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. [14]

FrieslandCampina is divided into four business groups, all with their own specific focus and expertise. FrieslandCampina Consumer Dairy supplies consumers and professionals directly with all kinds of diary. FrieslandCampina Specialised Nutrition supplies specific groups of consumers, like young children or professional sporters. FrieslandCampina Ingredients supplies ingredients as innovative partner in healthy or functional foodsolutions. FrieslandCampina Dairy Essentials produces and sells cheeses, butter and milk powder for professional and industrial clients. [15]

FrieslandCampina has received Royal status in 2009. [16] This means that according to the Dutch State, this company is more than 100 years old, prominent in its sector in the Netherlands, its governance is inmpeccable and the management is without any controversy. [17] FrieslandCampina has not received support in NOW-subsidies during Corona-times. [18]

Paris Agreement to Today

FrieslandCampina has developed a tool to measure emissions per member farm, which can help reduce these emissions. Since 2019, for all member farms emissions are being calculated seperately. [19] This data has not yet been publicly shared and therefore no conclusions on progress can be drawn from this data.

Current Policies and Emissions

In 2020, FrieslandCampina’s greenhouse gas emissions during production and transport were 720 kton CO2-eq. The greenhouse gas emissions on member diary farms counted up to 12319 kton CO2-eq. [20] These numbers exclude the purchase of CO2 emission rights of 1.198 kton (2019) and 1.154 kton (2020). [21] In 2019, total emissions were 11,96 mton CO2-eq. [22] In an investigation commissioned by Milieudefensie, Houkema Advies Duurzaam Voedsel concluded FrieslandCampina emitted 17,4 mton CO2-eq. in 2019. Due to lack of insight into the calculations of FrieslandCampina, an explanation of the difference cannot be given. [23]

Although products of FrieslandCampina are sold in over 100 countries worlwide, [24] all of the member diary farms are located in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. [25] In the Netherlands, over 75 percent of all dairy farmers are members of FrieslandCampina. [26] Nearly 95 percent of all emissions by FrieslandCampina occur in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany (12319 mton out of 13039 mton CO2-eq.).

Climate Plans

FrieslandCampina strived to grow its company in a climate-neutral way. This long-term climate-neutral growth objective has been realised according tot heir own rapportations: greenhouse gas emissions in the period 2010-2020 decreased from 13,108 kt to 13,039 kt, while production volume increased by 13.6 percent. [27]

FrieslandCampina has sustainability targets, but there are no targets on emission numbers besides the long-term targets which are set out in law. As an example, one of the sustainability targets is maximizing income for member farmers, which coincides with the interest of the company owners, which are the member farmers. Other targets are making processes circular and feeding a growing world population. [28] In other words, increase output and reduce production costs.

By 2050, FrieslandCampina aims to be producing (net) climate-neutral dairy and, by 2030, it intends to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by more than one-third (compared to 2015) in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and Green Deal climate targets. [29] How these targets will be met is not specified. FrieslandCampina mentions net climate-neutrality, leaving the option open to compensate emissions instead of reducing them.

FrieslandCampina claims to have reduced greenhouse gasses emissions with 20% between 1990 and 2020. Based on the FrieslandCampina data, the prognosis of emission reduction is exactly 45 percent in 2030. [30]

Conclusion

FrieslandCampina has set emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, as mandated by law. The way in which these targets will be met is not specified. FrieslandCampina wants its production to grow in accordance with the growth of the demand for dairy worldwide. [31] This expected growth is 2 percent per year and is therefore higher than the production growth in the period 2010-2020, which was 13,6 percent. [32] In the period 2010-2020 emissions dropped by less than 1 percent. FrieslandCampina strives to lower emissions from 2015 to 2030 by more than 33 percent. [33]

FrieslandCampina is going through difficult times in terms of profit and member satisfaction. More than 95 percent of the emissions of FrieslandCampina take place in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany while the large majority of the products is exported. The current business model of FrieslandCampina prevents third world countries from properly developing their own markets. Due to its expansion thrift, FrieslandCampina has hardly cut down on emission in previous years. With its expected growth numbers, their emission reduction targets for 2030 are hardly realistic. Especially when comparing the targets to the realised numbers of the last decade.
