FrieslandCampina recently celebrated its milestone 150-year anniversary of providing superlative dairy products and nutritional excellence. The global powerhouse is one of the largest dairy cooperatives in the world and commemorated the occasion at several key locations globally and locally.
The company’s plant in Sahiwal hosted the celebrations as it is the convergence point of its farming, manufacturing, and distribution practices. The flag hoisting ceremony was followed by a plant visit and presentations, including the company’s agri-business orientation during which guests learnt about FrieslandCampina’s signature journey and heritage.
During the event, the Chief Guest, Ashifa Riaz Fatyana – Provincial Minister of Punjab for Women Development said: “It is endearing to witness the presence of FrieslandCampina’s knowledge-based value system being applied throughout the country. It has been empowering dairy farmers and equipping them with best global practices, especially our enterprising female farmers, thus facilitating them in terms of self-sustenance and their economic well-being. This being a positive step towards diversity and inclusion in a field where female entrepreneurs are rare, will impact the economy at large and encourage more women to participate and emerge as dairy experts in the long run. I am hopeful that with entities like these, we are headed in the right direction that will have a positive impact on all stakeholders throughout.”
“FrieslandCampina’s 150 years of heritage combines deep knowledge, cultured tradition, understanding rooted in experience, and the very best of technology to impact millions of lives, every day. This combined with our ‘grass to glass’ ethos, delivers an unparalleled value proposition which aligns interests across our entire stakeholder ecosystem, and solidifies our place as an industry leader,” said Sania Sattar – Head of Corporate Communications & Sustainability at FrieslandCampina Pakistan. “We have several initiatives in the pipeline that will enable and empower our farmers, while ensuring that we continue to develop safe, nutritious and healthy dairy products for our consumers.”
