The U.S. Dairy Sustainability Awards program — celebrating its 10-year anniversary — has a new class of seven winners that demonstrate excellence in sustainability and contributions to the industrywide 2050 Environmental Stewardship Goals, as well as positive efforts in communities.

The U.S. Dairy Sustainability Awards program — celebrating its 10-year anniversary — is seeking nominations for its Class of 2021.

Signaling bold climate change action, the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, Rosemont, Ill., unveiled the Net Zero Initiative, an industrywide effort that will help U.S. dairy farms of all sizes and geographies implement new technologies and adopt economically viable practices.

The U.S. Dairy Sustainability Awards program, which honor dairy farms, dairy processors and others having practices that improve the wellbeing of people, animals and the planet, is recognizing six winners for 2020.

The awards are part of the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy’s commitment to ensure a socially responsible and ever-improving dairy community.

The award honors the association’s ‘green’ efforts during its 2019 trade show.

The organic dairy company was named a Sustainability Pioneer at Ecovia Intelligence’s 2018 Sustainable Food Awards.
