Dairy Sustainability Framework launches five new global indicators
The indicators are for public reporting on sustainability in the dairy value chain.
The Dairy Sustainability Framework (DSF) said it launched five further global indicators for public reporting of the industry’s progress under its 11 sustainability criteria. Members of the DSF, representing more than 31% of global milk production, endorse the 11 criteria and prioritize them based on their own region’s challenges, identified through a robust materiality analysis.
Each criterion has its own strategic intent — the dairy sector’s aspirational improvement goal — and sustainability target and timeline based initiatives are developed by the membership to work toward these goals at a regional, national and local level. Annual reporting of progress is a commitment of membership, DSF stated.
