2020’S SUSTAINABILITY HIGH- AND LOWLIGHTS
We believe that transforming the food industry is necessary to face humanity’s greatest challenges. And it’s not just us. The science is clear—to tackle climate change, we must shift the food system, and moving from current diets to more plant-based can have a transformative impact. Okay, so …let’s do it!
2020 summary
and company climate footprint
2020 was a year of climate crises, injustices and a pandemic. But it was also a year of progress. Global challenges are drivers for change, like a force of nature pushing us forward. For us at Oatly, 2020 will go down in the history books as a year when our top priority was to keep our employees safe while continuing our fast growth.
We aim to empower the plant-based movement by three pillars of action, each of them connected to a part of our value chain. If you want to know all the details about them and our ambitions in each area, we recommend you read Ashley´s to-do-list. But if you are more interested in the latest results, this is the place to be.
1. Drive a food system shift
We will work with farmers, suppliers, scientists and other partners to drive a shift toward sustainable, low-emission practices in the areas of our supply chain that are at the core of our business: oats, our suppliers, and packaging.

2. Set the
example
as a future
company
The UN has called on all businesses to accelerate the transformation toward a sustainable future that addresses climate change, inequality, health and wellbeing. To us, this means companies of the future put people and the planet first.

3. lead the charge to empower a plant-based revolution
The science is clear, it is time for humans to shift away from resource-intensive animal-based diets. We will not only provide innovative oat-based products that make this shift simple and delicious, but also use our voice and initiatives to empower change, influence policy and human behavior and galvanize the global movement towards a more plant-based food system.
