At Cow & Gate, we’re committed to making our Follow-on and Toddler milks in a way that reduces our impact on the planet, not just now, but in the future too.
From the cows that go moo and the farmers that milk them, to the ingredients we select and the energy used to prepare them, take a look at how we’re reducing our impact on the environment whilst feeding your baby.
When it comes to how we make our formula milks, we’re working hard to reduce our carbon emissions at every single step.
From the ingredients leaving the farm, to the milk being ready for your baby to drink, it’s our aim to make our baby formula production net zero by 2050. And we’re on track, with our factory in Wexford having already been certified as carbon neutral by the Carbon Trust.
When making our baby formula powders, we:
We take pride in the work that we undertake to minimise our impact on the environment. We work hard to reduce carbon emissions every year and offset emissions with Gold Standard carbon credits that support agricultural and rural communities through the Livelihoods Fund.
Other initiatives include:
We will continue to reduce our carbon emissions at our Wexford site and look for more ways to produce our Follow-on and Toddler milks sustainably for your little one and the planet.
At Cow & Gate, the things that matter to you as parents matter to us too.
Throughout 2021 and early 2022, we’ve removed palm oil from the blend of oils that we use from our Cow & Gate Standard Range powder and liquid formulations.
If you’ve got any questions, we’re here to help.
At Cow & Gate, we’re exploring new ideas and innovative ways to improve the sustainability of our packaging, without compromising on the quality, convenience, and most of all safety of our milks, for your baby.
Our ready to feed milk bottles are already recyclable from home, and we’re working hard to make sure that all of our packaging is 100% recyclable by 2025.
When it comes to raising your baby, it’s all about letting them do things naturally and in their own good time. The farmers we work with feel exactly the same way about their cows and the milk they produce.
Just as we’ve supported generations of babies and families, we source our milk ingredients from dairy farm cooperatives with a heritage of supporting the next generation of farmers.
From empowering farmers to ensuring animal welfare, we’re promoting regenerative agriculture. That’s why we’re committed to working collaboratively, and:
At Cow & Gate we test our range to high standards so you can be assured when you choose our baby and toddler milks or foods.
Our specialist baby advisors and experienced mums are here to talk and ready to help whenever you need them.
