Environmental protection & sustainability

Targeted sustainability management

The MEGGLE Group takes responsibility for environmental protection. We are committed to further promoting environmental protection at all levels of the company. We were one of the first companies in the Bavarian dairy industry to integrate a certified environmental management system into our own quality management. Targeted sustainability management and the associated implementation of legal requirements and innovations (such as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act) are particularly important to us.
