In a November 2020 keynote at the Reuters Events Supply Chain USA Virtual event, Peder Tuborgh discussed Arla Foods' approach to sustainability, describing it as central to the company's strategic agenda. He stated that a key challenge is "how to match on one hand caring for the world for the climate making the world a better place but at the same time producing more with less energy." Tuborgh noted that Arla had developed what he called "the world's largest database" on individual farm-level climate impact, and that the company works with its farmer cooperative members on sustainability. He added that he did not believe the company would "survive going forward if we don't remain very focused on the sustainability agenda including in our supply chain." In a 2014 presentation at the Aarhus Symposium, Tuborgh discussed branding in global markets and the challenges of feeding a growing world population. He remarked that "nobody has the answer" to how to feed nine billion people sustainably, but called it "a great opportunity" for Arla. He also noted that Arla's business in Russia had grown significantly before dropping to zero "in one day" due to geopolitical events, stating, "The shelves are empty at the moment, we sell nothing."
