Sustainability Milestones
Lakeland Dairies has made significant progress in recent years as part of our commitment to sustainability. Among our achievements are the successful reduction of water consumption across our processing facilities and the lowering of our carbon footprint through investments in energy-efficient technologies. Additionally, the number of farmers engaged in sustainability programmes has steadily increased, reflecting a growing commitment to sustainable practices within our farming community. These milestones are just the beginning, and we are continually striving to improve and innovate in all aspects of our operations.
Research & Collaboration
To drive innovation in sustainable dairy farming and processing, Lakeland Dairies collaborates with leading Irish universities and research centres. These partnerships enable us to explore and develop new farming methods that reduce environmental impact, improve dairy processing efficiency, and explore alternative feed solutions that lower methane emissions. Through this ongoing collaboration, we stay at the forefront of sustainability research, ensuring that our practices and products are both environmentally responsible and aligned with the latest scientific advancements.
Future Goals & Roadmap
Lakeland Dairies is committed to setting ambitious sustainability targets for the future. One of our primary goals is to achieve carbon neutrality across our entire operations. To achieve this, we will continue to engage with our farmers to reduce on-farm emissions, expand our biodiversity initiatives, and reduce our overall environmental footprint. By further advancing our sustainability efforts, we aim to ensure that we continue to contribute to a healthier planet and a more sustainable food system.
Case Studies & Impact Stories
Our sustainability efforts have already yielded real-world results, and we are proud to share a number of success stories. For instance, our farmer-led sustainability initiatives have led to reductions in emissions and improvements in operational efficiency. Additionally, we have developed innovative dairy products with a reduced environmental impact, and processing facility upgrades have resulted in significant energy and water savings. These case studies demonstrate the tangible impact of our sustainability initiatives and provide inspiration for others to follow suit.
