Caring for the environment

Caring for the environment - one of the foundations of the corporate responsibility of the Galactika company.

The company assumes responsibility for what it produces and what impact it has on the environment, so its employees at the corporate level are paying great attention to the environmental issues.

For the company it is very important to maintain the state of nature and its harmony, aiming to reduce any negative impact to a minimum in order to keep the Earth safe for the generations to come. The company's concern for the environment is based on care for the cows, the most efficient use of the natural resources and the raw materials and the environmental safety of the packaging materials.

Happy Cows

СGalactika begins its care about the environment with the care about the cows, which are provided with everything necessary on the farms in order to give the most delicious and the healthiest milk. Proper care, thoughtful handling, natural food and constant monitoring of the animals’ health - a guarantee that our happy cows will give milk of a high quality.

Efficient use of the natural resources and the raw materials

ОThe main raw material, which is used by Galactika is milk. From the farm to the conveyor the possible losses of the raw materials are minimized, and therefore the quality of the used milk shall always be at the highest level.

Water consumption - another important factor that affects the environment and the future of our planet. It is very important to save the water and to do so consciously.
