CSR Report 2024–2025

02 Sep 2026

To leave the world in a better state than we found it. That sounds lovely. But ultimately, sustainability isn’t about fine words. It’s about what you’re doing differently today compared to yesterday.

Over the past two years, we’ve made a lot of progress. In our cheese dairies, on the farms we work with, and amongst the people in our cheese family who work on our cheeses every day. We’ve managed to achieve most of the goals we set ourselves, and we’re incredibly proud of that. Does that mean we’ve already got there? Certainly not. For us, sustainability isn’t about targets, but about an ongoing process of trying, measuring, learning and continuous improvement. And sometimes that also means having the courage to make bold choices and follow your own path.

In our new CSR report, we look back on what we have achieved over the past two years. But just as importantly, we look ahead to the next steps we want to take for people, animals and nature. Because, just as with a well-matured cheese, the following applies: anything that is to be of value in the future deserves our full attention today

Meet Linde (25 years old) , our new livestock farm manager

17 Nov 2025

Linde (25 years old) - Organic dairy farm manager

After an apprenticeship in Canada, Linde found exactly what she was looking for at Henri Willig: a place where animal welfare is paramount.

"Here, the cow's welfare really comes first. That may sound obvious, but at Henri Willig you notice that it really is," Linde says. "Here, the health and welfare of the animal is taken care of first, and only then production. The cows then reward this with very high contents in the milk. This fits well with my beliefs - and with what I learned during my education."
