'Health & safety does not have to feel complicated – small, practical actions in everyday work can already make a big difference.'

Key insights

'There is more to business than financials alone. Our responsibility towards society is part of who we are and something we actively bring to life through our actions.'
- Wytse Sonnema

Since its launch, the Foundation has already received over 80 initiative submissions from around the world.

Did you know?

Key insights
  • Lely’s responsibility goes beyond financial performance; contributing positively to society is deeply rooted in the company’s DNA. This is reflected in how we connect our business activities to broader ESG commitments.

  • A key example is the Van der Lely Foundation, supported by the pledge of 5% of Lely's company profit. The Foundation enables employees to contribute actively by identifying and connecting charities that align with its goals.

  • One important takeaway is that everyone within Lely can play a role. By being aware of organisations that fit the Foundation’s mission, colleagues can directly help expand its impact and reach.

'The challenge isn’t just reducing emissions. It’s reducing them while demand grows and making it a shared responsibility across our operations, the value chain and the farms we support.'
- Carolien van Beek

Over 90% of Lely’s emissions occur in the value chain, highlighting the importance of collaboration with suppliers and farmers.

Did you know?

Key insights
  • The dairy sector faces a major challenge: significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions while global demand for dairy continues to grow. At the same time, farms need to remain profitable and future-proof.

  • Better use of data can already drive meaningful change. By understanding where emissions occur, we can focus on the areas with the highest reduction potential. In addition, small behavioural changes – such as more conscious travel choices – can collectively make a difference.
