In order to manage a healthy business today, it is both natural and necessary for companies to undertake social responsibility. CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is not just about complying with the law. It is also about creating added value benefitting the business, the people and the environment at the same time. For our members, CSR is especially about creating healthy and safety in the jobs, getting more out of resources, transferring knowledge and use cleaner technology, promoting good animal welfare – as well as supporting the social and economic development of local communities in a positive direction.

Attached brochure is the result of a committee work. The purpose was to provide member companies with a number of recommendations on how to design a CSR strategy.

The committee has been set up to promote the development of ideas between the agricultural companies and the supplier companies for agriculture. The group meets 3-4 times a year.

It includes 3 representatives from supplier companies elected among the members of the association and 3 from the association's board. The association is the secretariat of the committee.

The group was set up to support agricultural companies in optimizing their infection control against ASF. It includes representatives from three farms having large pig production. The first initiative was made in collaboration with Jim Loewe - an American expert in the topic.

The association has established an initiative on the topic in corporation with Alltech Climate. Two agricultural companies have been selected to test Alltech's tools for calculating the agricultural climate footprint.
