At Ornua, we're committed to giving back to communities through meaningful partnerships that create a positive impact. That's why we're proud to support Morrisons 'Every Pack Gives Back' campaign raising vital funds for Marie Curie UK, the UK's leading end-of-life charity. For the next two weeks, funds from selected Pilgrims Choice products sold in Morrisons stores will go to Marie Curie - helping turn everyday purchases into meaningful support for people living with terminal illness, and for the families and carers who rely on Marie Curie's vital services.

At Ornua, we’re committed to creating a culture where everyone can belong and thrive. Our Belonging at Ornua programme turns that commitment into action through allyship, inclusive policies and education that celebrates diversity and strengthens connections. Last month, colleagues across Ornua brought this commitment to life - celebrating Pride through meaningful conversations, community engagement and visible allyship. Our ‘One Story, Many Voices’ panel brought together colleagues and leading LGBTQI+ advocates to share their experiences and exchange perspectives. The discussion highlighted the power of listening, learning and creating spaces where everyone feels valued. Our thanks to Ruadhán Ó. of ShoutOut, Brian Yothers of Workplace Pride, and our own Jessica Wood, Rafay Agha and Lynne Andrews for their openness and contributions. We were also proud to make our first appearance at Chicago's 55th Annual Pride Parade, with colleagues from Ornua Foods Americas and Kerrygold joining more than one million people in celebrating the city's vibrant LGBTQI+ community. To round out the month, our Ornua Foods Americas Belonging Committee partnered with the Irish Consulate of Chicago to host a discussion on the legacy of LGBTQI+ rights activist Rory O'Neill, creating another opportunity to reflect on the progress made and the work that remains. #Pride #Belonging #LifeAtOrnua 

We were delighted to continue our partnership with the University College Dublin MSc in Food Business Strategy this year, collaborating directly with students to solve real-world business challenges. It was inspiring to see the level of research, strategic thinking, and commercial acumen demonstrated across all five teams as they tackled growth opportunities for #Kerrygold markets. The quality of analysis, professionalism, and practicality of the recommendations was exceptionally strong. Our congratulations to all the students, and particularly to the award winners and overall champions, who each embody the talent and innovation that will help shape the future of the food industry.   Thank you to Mary Delaney, the UCD team, and everyone involved in delivering such a valuable industry-academic collaboration. We are proud to support programmes that connect emerging talent with real business challenges and look forward to seeing what these future leaders achieve next. #TalentDevelopment #Innovation #Collaboration

We were delighted to recently host 20 U.S. congressional staffers to the Corrigan family farm in County Meath on their visit to Ireland from Washington DC with the US Ireland Partnership for Growth  The visit provided an opportunity for the group to hear from Ornua CEO Conor Galvin and experience Ireland's grass-fed dairy farming model first-hand, while meeting the people whose care, craftsmanship, and commitment underpin the globally renowned quality of Irish grass-fed dairy.  The US Ireland Partnership for Growth plays an important role in strengthening relationships between businesses across Ireland and the United States while supporting proactive engagement with policymakers shaping future economic collaboration.  Thank you to Eoin and Róisín Corrigan, and family, for hosting and sharing their story. As a previous NDC & Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards finalist, the Corrigan farm is a great representation of how tradition meets innovation to drive progress on a top-class modern Irish dairy farm. #IrishDairy | Lakeland Dairies
