Supporting communities

At Arla, we strive continually to enrich and fortify the communities we are part of by creating jobs, opening transparent dialogues with local stakeholders, and supporting vulnerable populations. A key part of this is supporting other local dairy industries to produce more efficiently and to develop standards & practices.

Better Access to Affordable Nutrition in Bangladesh

In a country where 56% of children are underweight and malnutrition is prevalent, a new squad of determined female microentrepreneurs - Arla’s Pushti Ambassadors - are being recruited to help. They are working hard to bring affordable dairy nutrition to families in rural parts of the country with Dano® Daily Pushti milk-powder sachets. While inspiring people to have more nutritious food habits, these Pushti Ambassadors are also securing a reliable income that helps lift them out of poverty.
