Dairy Industry Leaders Share Progress and Priorities

More than 270 leaders from across the dairy value chain gathered last month for the 2025 Dairy Sustainability Alliance Fall Meeting and sent a clear message: progress happens faster when the community moves forward together.

The opening session highlighted the 2023-2024 U.S. Dairy Sustainability Report, which tracks industry-wide performance across three priority areas: Advance Well-Being, Regenerate the Environment, and Care for our Animals and Communities.  It includes the industry’s first five-year update toward its 2050 Environmental Stewardship Goals, providing a clear view of how the industry is turning commitments into measurable impact.

“This report reinforces the credibility of dairy’s sustainability leadership,” said Lori Captain, group executive vice president of sustainability strategy, science, and industry relations at Dairy Management, Inc. “It brings forward the science, transparency, and results that matter to our customers, and it reflects the steady progress happening every day on farms and across the value chain.”
