One big family

Lantmännen is an agricultural cooperative founded on the deep knowledge our farmers have aquired over generations. We make farming thrive and work together to take responsibility from field to fork.

From field to fork

From our core farming business, through the value chain, from field to fork, we are involved in every step from sowing to harvesting; to the food on our tables, feed for our livestock and climate –smart biofuels.

Locally and globally

Owned by Swedish farmers, Sweden is our base with the Baltic Sea area as our expanded domestic market. We have a strong international presence, and no matter which country and location we operate in, we always take the same responsibility.

Research for the future

We pursue research and invest in innovation for tomorrow’s agriculture, bioenergy and foods of the future. Innovations are crucial if we are to resolve the challenges of today and tomorrow, which is why Lantmännen also has its own research foundation.

Look for the sprout

You´ll find the Lantmännen sprout on our packaging. The products may be different, but everyone can feel safe that we also minimise impact on climate and people. If you find the sprout on a packet, you can be sure what’s inside is Good Food from Lantmännen.

Without plastic as protection tonnes of fresh bread would go to waste every day. The most important role of plastic packaging is therefore to prevent food waste - which is a great burden for the climate.

As a material plastic has unique qualities ideal for storing and transportation. But used in excess amounts – or worse – littered in nature plastic has a negative effect on the environment, wildlife, wildlife habitat and humans.

Targeting 100% recycling of materials

As Europe’s second largest bakery group even small changes in our packaging process have a massive effect. We have created a “Unibake Plastics Statement” in which we share our opinion and targets for plastic consumption: We will increase our share of mono-material packaging which makes it easier to recycle plastics – today, we roughly use 80% mono-material packaging.

By 2022 we will make 100% of all our packaging materials recyclable. Also by 2022, we will also reduce our overall plastic consumption 10% - mainly by changing the thickness and size of our plastic bags.
