COMPANY
Creating stability, assuring our competitiveness.
In 2025, the Uelzena Group further strengthened its commercial stability and competitiveness. Our focus was on investments in modern production and infrastructure projects, the digitalisation of key processes, and the further development of the company strategy. At the same time, we established a group-wide corporate carbon footprint and successfully validated science-based climate goals by means of the Science Based Targets initiative, which set important foundations for the future climate management. This is how the Group combines commercial strengths with long-term viability.
PRODUCTS
Sustainable raw ingredients
Sustainability starts with sourcing raw materials. The Uelzena Group emphasises regional milk procurement, transparent supply chains and high quality standards. In 2025, the data basis for climate accounting in milk production was further expanded with the development of the climate check tool. We also pressed ahead with pilot projects to reduce emissions in agriculture and with preparations to implement regulatory requirements. This increases transparency and future-proofs Uelzena’s value chains.
PRODUCTION
Climate protection is part of the process
The Uelzena Group is continuously working on making production processes more efficient and further conserve resources. In the reporting year, our focus was on optimising existing plants, promoting digital data transparency, and investing in modern infrastructure. These technical improvements helped reduce energy consumption and emissions, and increased process reliability. Systematically capturing energy, water and usage data also creates the basis for effectively managing climate protection and resource efficiency in the long term.
EMPLOYEES
A strong foundation
Our employees are essential to the long-term success of the Uelzena Group. This is why we continuously invest in attractive working conditions, training and professional development, and a progressive corporate culture. Our priorities in 2025 were to secure skilled workers, develop training offers and consolidate the process of developing a culture of “Transparent Together” (Wir. Gemeinsam. Transparent). The aim is to retain employees over the long term, support their development and create a working environment that is based on trust, respect and collaboration.
SOCIAL AND REGIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Deep roots. Actively involved.
The cooperative nature of the Uelzena Group means that we are closely connected to the local regions. By means of regional value creation, collaborating with agricultural businesses, social commitment and promoting voluntary activities, we assume responsibility beyond our own business activities. Transparent compliance structures and clear codes of conduct also promote responsible corporate management. In this way, Uelzena combines commercial success with social responsibility and contributes to the sustainable development of our local regions.
Sustainable acting with ethical responsibility

In the world of business and finance, observing these rules is called compliance. Uelzena eG stands for law-abiding behavior, integrity and reliability on a national and international level.
