Environment

Our goal is to safeguard the environment while continuing to grow as a world-class dairy processor. For us, this means:

  • Meeting our compliance obligations
  • Preventing pollution
  • Reducing our impact on, and adapting to, climate change
  • Using natural resources sustainably
  • Protecting biodiversity and ecosystems
  • Leveraging our capabilities as a business to create positive environmental actions.

To succeed on these fronts, all environmental efforts are underpinned by our Environmental Policy and overseen by our Environmental Committee and managed at the local level with the support from our divisional environmental teams.  

In FY20, we pledged to accelerate our global climate, water, and waste performance, announced clear environmental targets, and made a formal commitment to make significant progress by 2025. We have allocated additional resources - including capital investments of more than $70 million to date - to support the execution of this global action plan.

More specifically, we are committed to: 

  • Climate
    • Reducing the CO2 intensity of our operations by 20%.
    • Reducing the energy intensity of our operations by 10%.
  • Water
    • Reducing the water intensity of our operations by 10%.
    • Improving our wastewater quality year-on-year.
  • Waste

    Operational waste

    • Reducing our total waste by 25%.
    • Increasing our diversion rate to 75%.

    Food waste

    • Reducing our food waste by 50%.

    Packaging

    • Reducing our material use by 15%.
    • Ensuring 100% of our packaging is reusable, recyclable, or compostable.
    • Ensuring our packaging includes at least 15% of recycled or renewable content.
