Yeo Valley celebrates third Queen’s Award
Yeo Valley, the family-owned organic dairy company, was presented with its third Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.
At the event, Lady Gass, Lord Lieutenant of Somerset, presented the award on behalf of Her Majesty. This is the third Queen’s Award for the company, which previously achieved the accolade in 2001 and 2006. Yeo Valley is one of only ten UK companies this year to be given this coveted award.
Yeo Valley received the award in recognition of its ongoing commitment to British organic farming, with specific praise for the company’s support of local farmers and setting a benchmark for sustainability. The award commends the breadth of Yeo Valley’s dedicated approach: “Demonstrating outstanding performance in every aspect of sustainability, the company has established best practice across its operations.”
Tim Mead, Yeo Valley’s managing director, said: “This award recognises everyone who works hard to maintain Yeo Valley’s high standard of sustainability and best practice in organic farming. We’re delighted to receive the coveted award for the third time, but its extra special as it comes exactly fifty years since my parents moved to the farm.”
