Our Cooperative Journey - 25 Years of Growing Together Across Borders

Welcome to this episode of Arla Unplugged about our Cooperative Journey. In this 25-year anniversary edition, host Jóhann Thór Haahr Hansen sits down with Inge-Lise Sjöström Vice Chair for our Board of Directors and farmer owner from Sweden, and Sophie Gregory, member of the Board of Representatives from the UK, to reflect on 25 years since the merger between MD Foods and Arla that created Arla Foods as we know it today.   Discover how 7.500 farmer owners from across Northern Europe have come together to build a pioneering, cross-border cooperative - overcoming challenges, learning from each other, and shaping the future of dairy. From the early days of Danish-Swedish collaboration to today’s global presence, this episode explores what it means to be part of Arla, the power of democratic ownership in a cooperative, and the pride of leading the way on sustainability and innovation.
