WORKSHOPS
At Impact Live!, experts shared practical insights through workshops on biodiversity, sustainable water management, and societal and environmental challenges. This recap highlights selected sessions and the key learnings participants took away.
Governance
& compliance
'Ethics may sound academic, but the choices we make in difficult situations define who we are as a company.'
- Caïus Ort
In Europe, 62% of all reports relating to ethical issues are made anonymously.
Did you know?
Governance and compliance are not just about rules and policies. They are about the decisions we make every day and how we protect Lely’s values and culture together.
Ethical dilemmas are part of doing business. Taking time to discuss them openly with others often leads to better decisions and more understanding between different perspectives.
Speaking up when something does not feel right can make a big difference. You do not have to solve ethical questions alone – asking for support is important.
A simple question can help guide better decisions: would you feel comfortable honestly explaining your choice to someone close to you?

Circular economy
'Circularity is not just a sustainability topic. It’s a smarter way of designing, collaborating and creating long-term value.'
- Tanja Roeleveld
Around 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined at the design stage.
Did you know?
Circularity becomes tangible in everyday decisions: from how products are designed to how materials are repaired, reused and recycled throughout their lifecycle.
Small design choices early in the development process can have a major impact later on. Designing with modularity, repair and reuse in mind helps extend product lifetimes and reduce waste.
One of the sector’s biggest challenges is shifting from traditional linear systems towards circular models that require collaboration and shared responsibility across the entire value chain.

'Animal welfare isn’t just one perspective – by combining different views and keeping an open dialogue we can create better solutions for both cows and farmers.'
- Rozan van Rossum
Cows can have ‘best friends’ – they are often milked at the same time, as seen in robot data.
Did you know?
Animal welfare is one of the five key impact areas within our vision of the Farm of the Future. Improving it, not only benefits cows, but also contributes to a more sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future in farming.
Everyone within Lely can influence animal welfare – through ideas, daily decisions and open conversations about what good animal welfare means. Different perspectives play an important role in this and combining them leads to better outcomes.
A simple but powerful question to ask more often is: what does the cow feel? Keeping this perspective in mind helps guide more thoughtful and impactful choices.
