Arla’s smokescreens

 In this report, we look at how Arla is putting up smokescreens through lobbying, greenwashing and creative emissions calculations in order to hide its true emissions, increase its political influence, maintain dairy’s privileged position and increase the company’s profits. This provides a textbook example of how Big Meat and Dairy get away with their heavy climate footprint, as outlined in the Changing Markets Foundation report The New Merchants of Doubt.[vi]

For this report, we have examined public documents and other written sources, as well as talking to dairy farmers connected to Arla. This information paints a picture of how Arla is working to increase its already large influence in the industry, and how it lobbies policymakers to advance its agenda. Arla maintains its dairy fairytale by keeping an iron grip on its dairy farmers and sprinkling money on greenwashing campaigns to continue misleading consumers.
