A better world is a healthy planet

Driven by our Five Principles, we know that our responsibility expands far beyond the quality of our products.

A better world is a healthy planet where we value the environment in which our pets and their owners live, and where we take responsibility to create sustainable business and ensure everyone in our value chains is able to thrive.

Sustainable in a Generation

As a responsible company, we launched the Sustainable in a Generation Plan to grow in ways that are good for the people, planet and business.

It focuses on three interconnected ambitions that are essential to ensuring we are the health and nutrition experts, in a sustainable way.
