References to A1 and A2 proteins mean the A1 and A2 beta-casein protein types. --- ## The a2 Milk® difference URL: https://thea2milkcompany.com/thea2milkdifference Title: About The a2 Milk Company The scientific premise of the business: all cows' milk originally carried only the A2 beta-casein protein type, and the A1 type emerged later through a genetic mutation. Most conventional milk today carries a mix of both. The company points to published peer-reviewed human clinical trials indicating the A1 protein can cause digestive discomfort in some people who have trouble drinking milk. A proprietary method identifies cows that naturally produce milk containing only A2 and no A1. The milk is naturally occurring rather than a product of genetic engineering or any technological process.

The company frames this as a responsibility to farmers, investors, consumers, partners and employees, with transparency and trust as the stated basis. Identified opportunities across the value chain: cutting greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to nature, promoting animal welfare, driving packaging circularity and waste reduction, supporting operating communities, and ensuring responsible sourcing and ethical supply chain practice. The stated approach combines scientific rigour with practical action, shaped by input from farmers, employees, consumers and partners, and narrowed to five focus areas. The company emphasises collaboration across the dairy sector and beyond — farmers, suppliers, customers, researchers, NGOs and governments. ### The five focus areas 1. **Climate and Nature** — two pages behind one nav entry: - Climate: https://thea2milkcompany.com/climate-impact - Nature: https://thea2milkcompany.com/nature-impact Reducing emissions, supporting biodiversity, and contributing to nature positive outcomes. The pages share a Climate | Nature toggle and both carry the title "Climate and Nature", but only `/climate-impact` is linked from the navigation. 2. **Thriving Farms** — https://thea2milkcompany.com/thriving-farms Partnering with farmers to strengthen sustainable on-farm practice and cow welfare, building a resilient supply chain. 3. **Sustainable Packaging** — https://thea2milkcompany.com/sustainable-packaging Improving circularity through recyclable materials, higher recycled content, and clear accurate on-pack information to improve packaging recovery. 4. **Responsible Supply Chain** — https://thea2milkcompany.com/responsible-sourcing Sourcing ingredients and materials responsibly, with a focus on human rights and ethical practice. 5. **Enriching Communities** — https://thea2milkcompany.com/community Supporting children, families and farming communities. ### Nature (detail) URL: https://thea2milkcompany.com/nature-impact Climate and nature are framed as interconnected systems that make dairy possible. Healthy ecosystems — water, soil health, on-farm biodiversity — are treated as the foundation of dairy production and a determinant of how resilient the value chain can be. The company positions itself as committed to leading an industry-wide shift toward practices that protect and restore nature over time. On targets: global understanding of nature-related business risk is still evolving and common standards are still emerging, so the company has set voluntary goals and measures rather than waiting for a settled framework. Three nature priorities across the value chain: - **Water quality and use** — supporting farmers to reduce nutrient and sediment loss to waterways through on-farm practice and catchment-level management; using water more efficiently and minimising avoidable waste. - **Soil quality** — promoting practices that improve soil structure and nutrients and enhance carbon and nitrogen capture. - **Biodiversity** — working with suppliers to protect and expand on-farm habitats. Reported progress via the a2™ Farm Sustainability Fund: over NZ$1.7m invested in nature-related projects and more than 115,000 on-farm plantings. The Fund invites annual applications from farmers supplying A1 protein free milk across Australia and New Zealand. **Pollinator pilot (case study):** partnered with Ubees, a pollination technology and monitoring specialist, on a study of how pollinators contribute to resilient dairy systems. Twenty sensor-equipped smart beehives were installed on a US dairy farm to monitor colony health and pollination activity, and pollen samples were analysed for plant diversity. Reported outcomes: bees visited millions of flowers daily during peak flowering; pollen analysis showed a wide range of plants visited, underlining the value of diverse plantings; and the farmer received tailored reports to guide planting decisions.

The difference is in the type of cow. Different cows naturally produce milk with different protein structures; the company's farmers select cows producing A2 beta-casein and no A1, whereas most fresh dairy milk carries a mixture. Research indicates it can reduce digestive discomfort in some people who have difficulty digesting ordinary cows' milk. **Is it natural?** Yes — naturally occurring cows' milk, not the result of a technological process or genetic engineering. Pure, 100% natural, no additives. **Is it suitable for children?** Yes. Doctors recommend full cream milk for children over 12 months and low fat milk for children over two. People of any age with a medically diagnosed allergy to cows' milk protein or to lactose should not drink a2 Milk™ or any other natural cows' milk. **Lactose intolerance — can they drink a2 Milk™?** a2 Milk™ contains the same amount of lactose as conventional cows' milk. The Australian Dietary Guidelines note that up to 250mL of cows' milk may be well tolerated by lactose intolerant individuals, better tolerated when consumed with other foods and spread across the day. **Lactose intolerance and cows' milk generally** People with lactose intolerance often avoid dairy, but research shows they can usually tolerate 12–15g of lactose per day, roughly equivalent to 250mL of cows' milk. Individual tolerance varies; larger daily volumes should be guided by tolerance, or a lactase enzyme supplement may help. **Where are products sold?** The company has trading activities in Australia, New Zealand, China, the United States, South Korea and Singapore. **Why is a2 Milk™ no longer sold in the UK?** The company discontinued a2 Milk™ in the UK in October 2019 and has no plans to sell through UK retail channels. Customers are advised to discuss alternatives with a healthcare professional such as a GP. **How was it discovered?** The a2 Milk Company was founded in New Zealand in 2000 by Dr Corran McLachlan. The mission remains pioneering the scientific understanding of a2 Milk™. --- ## Careers URL: https://careers.thea2milkcompany.com Separate subdomain, out of scope for this file. --- ## Legal - Privacy policy: https://thea2milkcompany.com/privacy-policy - Terms of use: https://thea2milkcompany.com/terms-of-use - Collection statement: https://thea2milkcompany.com/collection-statement --- ## Consumer market sites | Market | Brand | URL | | --- | --- | --- | | Australia | a2 Milk® | https://www.a2milk.com.au | | Australia | a2 Platinum® | https://a2nutrition.com.au | | New Zealand | a2 Milk™ | https://a2milk.nz | | USA | a2 Milk® | https://a2milk.com | | USA | a2 Platinum® | https://a2platinum.com | | China | a2™至初® | https://a2nutrition.cn | | Canada | a2 Milk™ | https://a2milk.ca | | China | Official Tmall China store | https://a2nutrition.world.tmall.com | | Hong Kong | Official Tmall Global store | https://a2milk.tmall.hk | Social: https://www.facebook.com/a2milkAU/ · https://www.linkedin.com/company/thea2milkcompany/ · X/Twitter @a2milk --- ## Acknowledgement of Country The a2 Milk Company respectfully acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which it lives, works and operates, and pays respect to Elders past and present. --- Copyright © 2026 The a2 Milk Company Limited. a2 Milk® is a trademark of The a2 Milk Company Limited.
