WOERLE continues to make an impact – Sustainable company from Salzburg

We feel committed to nature.

You want to know why? Quite simply: the best hay milk cheese can only be made if the raw materials come from an intact, insect-friendly natural landscape. That's why the motto "Sustainable management and production" is not just a catchphrase at WOERLE. Sustainability means much more to us.

Striving for sustainability must not only be selective. Acting a bit sustainably here and there, that's not WOERLE. We see sustainability comprehensively, which is why we treat nature with respect, rely on recycling management, biodiversity, and the well-being of humans and animals. In addition, climate protection is very important to us: we want to use as few resources as possible, rely on renewable energies and avoid waste whenever possible.

So one thing leads to another. With our "360° sustainability" we achieve a balance between nature, people, cows and profitability - and lo and behold: the equation works. Our unique product quality and the success of our company are based on this form of living sustainability. This pleases our customers, who want to enjoy good hay milk cheese, as well as regional farmers, who get sustainable future prospects.

Good hay milk cheese needs biodiversity

WOERLE hay milk cheese is made from the very best milk. And they only give happy cows. Among other things, cow well-being lies in aromatic hay fodder that grows on insect-friendly hay milk meadows. They are the habitat for a great diversity of species – in plants as well as in insects and small animals. Not least because of this, the preservation of biodiversity is an important pillar of sustainability for us.

360° sustainability - from nature, for nature

For WOERLE, sustainability also means always maintaining the natural balance. That's why we operate a circular economy. Our dairy farmers and employees are integrated into this, as are healthy soil, resource and climate protection, sophisticated waste management and a great sense of tradition and regionality.

Regional CO2 -reduced

With our flagship project “regional CO2-reduced" we support regional CO2-Saving to reduce CO2-footprint of our cheese, to the CO2-Avoidance and compensation on site as well as to create value in the region for the region.
