Sustainable Farming Practices
We are leading the way in sustainable dairy farming by integrating cutting-edge technologies and science-based solutions. Our farmers are actively reducing their environmental footprint through: Carbon-efficient milk production by improving herd management and soil health. Enhanced biodiversity initiatives, including planting hedgerows and preserving natural habitats. Nutrient management strategies to improve soil quality and reduce emissions.
Farmer Education & Support
We provide our 3,200 farm families with expert guidance, training, and on-farm support to drive sustainable dairy production. Through initiatives like the Teagasc Joint Programme and Northern Ireland Dairy Development Programme, we help farmers improve grazing, soil health, and emissions reduction. Our work with Dairy Sustainability Ireland ensures Irish dairy remains a global leader in sustainability.
Responsible Supply Chain
Sustainability doesn’t stop on the farm. At Lakeland Dairies, we are committed to ensuring that our entire supply chain minimises waste, reduces emissions, and promotes sustainability. This includes investing in energy-efficient processing methods, incorporating renewable energy solutions, and optimising transport logistics to reduce carbon emissions. Furthermore, we implement advanced water conservation and treatment systems at our processing sites to ensure sustainable water usage, demonstrating that every stage of our supply chain is aligned with our environmental goals.
