Promoting children’s health and education


The first school milk programme using Tetra Pak packages was introduced in Mexico in 1962 and still reaches millions of children today.  Since then, we have supported our customers and collaborated with governments, NGOs, the UN and international development aid agencies to provide technical assistance in programme organisation, implementation, evaluation, environmental education, and advise on food safety and quality controls in schools by sharing global best practices.
