Barry Callebaut and Arla Foods Launch Low-Carbon Dairy Partnership to Cut Scope 3 Emissions
ad-hoc-news.deBarry Callebaut has announced a three-year partnership with Arla Foods to source lower-carbon dairy ingredients, starting with UK skimmed milk powder. Arla will provide farm-level carbon footprint data tied to dairy volumes, helping Barry Callebaut track and reduce Scope 3 emissions. The program includes incentive payments for farmers who adopt emissions-reducing practices, marking the company's first initiative focused on on-farm emissions in dairy sourcing. This move reflects growing pressure on food companies to address supply chain emissions, especially in dairy, which is a major agricultural greenhouse gas source. By linking financial rewards to measurable reductions, the partnership aims to make low-carbon sourcing practical. The UK start is limited, but the approach could scale to other regions and commodities if the data and incentives prove effective.
