Delivering cheese with purpose
At Heler Foods, we believe in more than just great cheese. We believe in doing the right thing – for our people, our planet and our communities. Because how we pack, produce and partner matters just as much as what we deliver.
made with care.
delivered with conviction.
We know the food industry plays a vital role in feeding the nation, supporting jobs and strengthening supply-chains. From the soil that grows our milk, to the factory floor, to the cheeseboard – every step carries responsibility. That’s why our impact strategy sits at the heart of everything we do, guiding how we nurture our people, uphold the highest quality, and build a resilient, sustainable business for the long term.
Through transparency and accountability, we’re committed to being part of the solution for the climate, nature, our workforce and the communities where we live and operate.
By 2027, we will have achieved Zero Waste to Landfill and maximised the reuse, recycling and recovery of all waste streams across our sites.
By 2037 we aim to be operating with net-zero emissions across our direct operations; by 2050 across our full value chain.
We’re embedding science-based targets, expanding measurement of our impact, and promoting trust through openness and action.
Climate & Nature
From regenerative dairy-supply practices to low-carbon heat systems across our sites, solar power at our packing facility, and a state-of-the-art water treatment plant producing potable water, we’re reducing our environmental impact at every stage. Combined with energy-efficient technologies in our packing facility, we’re accelerating our journey to a smaller, smarter carbon footprint.
Packaging & Waste
As a packing specialist, we know packaging matters. We’re innovating to reduce virgin resource use, drive circularity and ultimately eliminate avoidable waste – so our packaging is as thoughtful as our cheese.
Creating a More Equitable Society
We are committed to providing meaningful jobs and development paths – from our 450+ colleagues, to new opportunities in the local community through our Community Fund set up to support the communities we operate in. Our aim is to generate social value for everyone we touch.
Inclusion & Wellbeing
Cheese doesn’t happen without people. That’s why we focus on safety, wellbeing, training and inclusive culture - empowering every individual to thrive and contribute.
