Our Finance Teams at the Heart of the Organisation

Content

Within Finance, each team makes a unique contribution to the whole. We work together as one function, but with clear responsibilities for each role. Our insights help the business make better decisions – based on facts and analysis. Think of market developments, acquisitions, pricing strategies, milk valorisation, and sustainability.

We deliver value to the organisation through three focus areas:

Projects and Technology

Finance continues to evolve through digitalisation, innovation, and a strong focus on the future. Our colleagues work on initiatives like Optimus, which integrates processes and systems for greater efficiency and transparency. With tools such as PowerBI, we help the organisation make well-informed, data-driven decisions. We are also actively involved in strategic projects, such as mergers and acquisitions, where Finance plays a key role in assessing risks and opportunities.

Sustainability plays an increasingly important role within Finance. Where it was once seen as a cost, we now view it as an opportunity to create value. Finance acts as a co-pilot, contributing by:

  • Translating sustainability initiatives into growth models and financing structures.
  • Integrating Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) criteria into our financial routines.
  • Building a governance structure that ensures compliance, both internally and externally.

In Finance, we remain focused on five overarching themes that guide our direction – now and in the future:

  • Empowering our people: We provide the right building blocks and engagement opportunities to support personal and professional development.
  • Creating value with impact: We transform Finance from a cost centre to a value driver, with sustainability as a key focus.
