FrieslandCampina has published its plan on how to deliver climate-neutral dairy by no later than 2050 with clear targets, concrete actions and a checkpoint being a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
“Our detailed climate plan demonstrates that we are keen to do our bit. Our targets and concrete actions provide a clear road map towards a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, putting us on course to achieve net climate-neutral dairy by 2050.”
As part of its integrated Nourishing a better planet sustainability programme, FrieslandCampina published its climate plan ‘On the way to climate-neutral dairy’. FrieslandCampina is aiming to produce net climate-neutral dairy by no later than 2050.
Hein Schumacher, CEO Royal FrieslandCampina N.V.: ‘FrieslandCampina is keen to give people throughout the world daily access to good and affordable food, produced in balance with the planet. Unsurprisingly, then, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is one of the priorities enshrined in our Nourishing a better planet sustainability programme. The Paris Agreement encompasses agreements on measures throughout the world to help keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius and preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Our detailed climate plan demonstrates that we are keen to do our bit. Our targets and concrete actions provide a clear road map towards a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, putting us on course to achieve net climate-neutral dairy by 2050. In line with FrieslandCampina’s cooperative nature, we are working closely together with member dairy farmers, customers, suppliers, scientists, NGOs and government on meeting the climate targets.’
