Dairy Supply Chain Launches Guide for Sustainability Reporting

ROSEMONT, Ill. - The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy announced two new resources to advance the industry's ability to track, improve and communicate sustainability performance and progress across the supply chain, according to the organization.

The resources were developed as part of the dairy industry's ongoing effort to provide consumers with responsibly produced dairy foods and beverages. The resources build on the dairy industry's commitment to transparent and credible sustainability reporting and include:

• The draft "Stewardship and Sustainability Guide for U.S. Dairy: a voluntary framework for tracking and communicating progress," which has undergone a thorough review process by representatives from across the dairy industry and is now available for 60-day open stakeholder consultation period
• The 2012 U.S. Dairy Sustainability Report, the industry's third annual report dedicated to reporting progress toward its sustainability goals.

Both resources are available online here.
