Why is sustainability essential for the dairy industry?

At the heart of life and living things, dairy products face a twofold challenge: to meet strong growth in global demand, while stepping up their commitment to the food transition throughout the value chain, on the road to sustainable development.

3 key figures from our whitepaper:

• +14% growth in global consumption of dairy products by volume between 2023 and 2032
• 59% of consumers are concerned about the environmental and ethical consequences of production (living conditions of animals, remuneration of producers, environmental impact, etc.).
• 63% of consumers say they prefer to buy food products with a low environmental impact or reduced carbon footprint (+5pts vs. 2022).

This white paper includes:

• An overview in figures: the position of the dairy industry in the world today.
• The approach: the industry's commitment to more sustainable food.
• On the farm: between animal health, animal welfare and the welfare of those who rear them.
• At process and product level: towards less impactful sites for healthier, safer and certified production.
• For the consumer: informing and helping people to consume better for a sustainable relationship.
• Companies and people: from internal social responsibility to external solidarity initiatives.

This year, for the first time, SIAL Paris, the world's largest food trade fair, has teamed up with the CNIEL to produce this white paper to highlight the commitments and players in the international dairy sector.
