Minimizing Carbon & Resource Footprint
Reducing our carbon footprint with a commitment to renewable energy and technology
Sustainable practices to cut emissions across our operations
Our organization strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and optimize resource use throughout all its operations—across dairies, manufacturing plants, and supply chain partners.
Unmatched Efficiency
This includes investing in renewable energy (solar and bio-gas), improving energy efficiency, and encouraging responsible feed sourcing that shrinks our overall carbon footprint.
By continually measuring, bench marking, and innovating around energy and emissions, we’ve built long-term resilience while staying true to our commitment to producing wholesome dairy products sustainably.
Biodigester Deployment
- One of our dairies operates a private digester capturing 95%
of flush manure methane—total methane captured avoids 36,105 mt CO₂e annually
—and produces biogas that avoids 9,794 mt CO₂e when used for on-site power, generating Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) & Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits. - Two dairies have each achieved 100% manure capture, with biogas used for on-site power or pipeline injection.
Renewable Electricity
7.7% of our total electricity demand is met by renewables, highlighted by:
- 4 MW solar array at one dairy, offsetting ~30% of its needs
- 2 MW solar at another dairy, delivering 94% renewable supply
- Biogas-powered generation at a third dairy, covering 79% of on-site demand
