From Farmland to Biodiversity Hero
How can biodiversity be strengthened in practical terms on individual farms – and which measures deliver the greatest impact? These questions are at the heart of Friland’s new biodiversity project. The aim is to provide farmers with tailored support and to work together, step by step, to enhance biodiversity across their farms.
Friland Surpasses the Billion Mark
Turnover has risen from DKK 966.1 million to DKK 1,034.8 million, despite fewer organic animals being slaughtered. Demand has been strong in both Denmark and Germany, resulting in higher payments to the farmers.

Friland Appoints New CEO
In mid-May, Friland’s CEO Søren Tinggaard accepted a new position as Senior Vice President, Member Services, at Danish Crown. As a result, Friland is now appointing a new CEO: Svend Schou Borch, who has extensive experience from various sectors of the food industry.
Progress at Friland Driven by Exports and a Strong Position in Denmark
Friland's revenue is increasing, even though fewer animals are being slaughtered. The growth is primarily driven by organic pork, which holds a strong position in Danish retail and performs well in exports.

Søren Tinggaard is the new director of Danish Crown Owner Services. He comes from a position as director of Danish Crown's organic company, Friland, and replaces Nicolaj Nørgaard, who is leaving after seven years at Danish Crown.

More slaughtering in an uneven year for Danish Crown Beef
The slaughter of cattle has increased, and demand for Danish beef has been strong. However, challenges for German abattoirs and subsidiaries Scan-Hide and Nordic Spoor have impacted payouts to Danish farmers.
Consumers are choosing Friland again
The demand for meat with the highest animal welfare standards has risen significantly over the past year. Both Danish consumers and international customers in food service and the processing industry are once again opting for Friland's products. This restoration of demand has been so strong that Friland experienced stock shortages in the final month of the fiscal year.
Significant impairments impact the performance
Provisions, impairments, and costs related to the closure of an abattoir negatively impact Danish Crown’s competitiveness in a year where revenue and earnings - despite a four percent drop in the supply of slaughter pigs - were otherwise stable.
