Our responsibility

Ausnutria pursues its mission with due consideration to the society in which it operates. In this respect Ausnutria not only focuses on opportunities, but also on its responsibilities. Growing children are vulnerable. Access to the right nutrition is essential for their development. Producing and providing access to healthy and nutritional infant formula is the core activity of our organisation.

The healthiest and most nutritious baby food is, in the first place, the mother’s milk. We therefore endorse the principle that babies should be breast-fed for the first six months of their lives, in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO). We also promote breast-feeding babies for as long as possible after the first six months. For babies that are not breast-fed, we offer high-quality infant formula.

Quality & Food Safety

We produce products for an exceptionally vulnerable target group. That is why quality and food safety are our number one priority. On the basis of the Ausnutria quality system, we safeguard the processes required to guarantee an excellent and safe product.

Way of working

Our Quality Assurance department establishes standard practices based on HACCP (risk assessment), legislation and certification requirements. In order to strengthen our processes and ensure that we continuously meet the highest possible standards, we are constantly evaluating and optimizing our working methods. In addition, Ausnutria has the knowledge to develop recipes that are specifically tailored to local laws and regulations in countries worldwide.

Certification

All Ausnutria locations are audited on a regular basis by the Dutch Central Authority for Quality Matters (COKZ) and by the various certifying authorities. Our quality systems are certified* according to the following (international) standards:

  • FSSC22000 Food Manufacturing
  • BRC Food

In addition, we are certified for the production of:

  • Organic products
  • Halal products
  • Kosher products

*Certifications vary by production location.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Sustainable

The quality principles of Ausnutria respond to society’s demand for sustainability. We have extensive experience in our market and continually work to improve our operational management. We aim to limit the impact on the environment when purchasing our raw materials and manufacturing and distributing our products by optimising our working methods.

To increase the transparency of our working methods in this area, we publish an Sustainablity Report each year together with our parent and sister organisations (collectively the Ausnutria Group). For more information, please visit the website of Ausnutria Dairy Corporation Ltd. 

Involved

In our organisation, involvement also means having due consideration for the world around us. Our mission NOURISHING LIFE & GROWTH expresses  our conviction that everyone deserves the opportunity to be nourished on the basis of choices that are right for them: in relation to nutrition, but also in relation to opportunities and development. Ausnutria wants to contribute to a world in which everyone has the strength to lead a healthy and prosperous life. Our sponsor and donation policy was also developed on the basis of this conviction. The basis of this policy is special attention for children, whereby we aim to make a contribution to helping them get the best out of their future.

Since 2020, Ausnutria is the main sponsor of sc Heerenveen. With this sponsorship, Ausnutria wants to give further substance to its social involvement with the province of Friesland and, in particular, Heerenveen. During the sponsorship Ausnutria will pay a lot of attention to local youth and children, to help them bring the best out of their future. Read more about the sponsorship

As organisation we are always open to opportunities for making a contribution and to strengthen the positive experience with our organisation. If you are interested in a partnership in this area, contact us at mvo@ausnutria.nl
