Yeo Valley strives to be a truly authentic business – one which has real substance and one that actually does what it claims without resorting to green-wash or spin.In our opinion, an authentic business can be large or small, private or public, high tech or traditional, regional or even global. What it cannot do is pretend to be something it is not, marketing a story that has no substance behind it. As increasing globalisation sees more and more companies and brands becoming engulfed by multi-national business, often with the loss of identity and ideals, Yeo Valley is proud to be different. Yeo Valley has twice won The Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development (in 2001 and 2006) in recognition of how we operate. We were very proud to host a visit from Her Majesty The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh at our Blagdon Dairy in July 2007.
