Dairy Sustainability Framework releases global indicators for sustainability
The criteria includes soil (quality and retention, soil nutrients, water), availability and quality, biodiversity and working conditions.
Dairy Sustainability Framework (DSF), Belgium, launched five further global indicators for public reporting of the industry’s progress under its 11 sustainability criteria.
Members of the DSF, representing over 31% of global milk production, endorse the 11 Criteria, then prioritize these based on their own region’s challenges, and finally, identify through a robust materiality analysis. Each criteria 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.
