Our Vision for the Future
At Cremo, we are convinced that sustainability and economic performance go hand in hand.
Our commitment to the environment is not just a responsibility—it is also a driver of innovation and efficiency.
By continuing to invest in sustainable solutions—whether in our production processes, logistics, or resource management—we are paving the way for a more sustainable future for our company, our partners, and future generations.
Our goal is clear: to become a leader in the Swiss dairy industry in terms of sustainability, while maintaining the excellence of our products.
Reducing emissions :
A long-term commitment, a voluntary and ambitious approach
Since 2013, we have been committed to aCO₂ emissions reduction agreement, demonstrating our determination to be at the forefront of the fight against climate change. The results speak for themselves: emissions from natural gas and fuel oil consumption at our production sites have fallen by 47% over the past decade.
Our approach is centered on concrete measures aimed at:
Optimizing our energy performance
Reducing our CO₂ emissions
Implement innovative solutions for a more sustainable use of resources
A comprehensive, transparent approach
Our commitment doesn't stop there. In 2023, we launched a comprehensive assessment of our greenhouse gas emissions, including Scope 3—all indirect activities that generate emissions. This comprehensive approach allows us to identify new ways to reduce our overall impact over the long term.
A partnership for carbon neutrality
In our quest for environmental efficiency, we have chosen to outsource our transport activities, a strategic decision that combines operational performance and respect for the environment. This initiative enables us to refocus on our core business, while adopting more environmentally-friendly logistics.
By working with Galliker, a company renowned for its modern, environmentally-friendly fleet, we have optimized delivery routes and consolidated transport, considerably reducing our nationwide emissions.
Our commitment goes even further: we have entered into a partnership with the Mobilité Galliker Green Logistics association, and are aiming for carbon neutrality in our transport activities. This ambitious project reflects our determination to innovate for a sustainable future.
A step closer to cleaner energy
In 2024, Cremo took another step toward cleaner energy and a more sustainable future. In partnership with OIKEN, a system consisting of 4,833 photovoltaic panels was installed and commissioned on the roof of our factory in Sierre (VS).
With a total area of 9,437 m²—equivalent to nearly two soccer fields—this facility is one of the largest privately-owned production facilities in the Canton of Valais.
