The 2025 Dairy Tracks report from ofi shows a reduction of 80,000 MT of CO2e through targeted interventions in the dairy supply chain. The company is focusing on methane-reducing feed supplements, optimized feed rations, and better manure management to meet its 2030 climate targets. By collecting primary data from farms and facilities, ofi provides food and beverage manufacturers with verified carbon footprints for 61% of its dairy volumes. This approach helps brands manage Scope 3 emissions and improve supply chain resilience through data-backed sourcing.

ofi is pushing primary data over industry averages for dairy. They hit 80k MT of reductions so far, which is about halfway to their 2030 goal. Worth reading if you care about how Scope 3 is actually tracked at the farm level.

The shift to primary product carbon footprints is the key here. Using averages usually hides the actual progress. The real test will be if these verified footprints align with emerging global reporting standards for food supply chains.

They mention 54% renewable energy at their own processing plants. That is a decent start, but I wonder about the grid constraints in Malaysia and New Zealand. Is that 54% from on-site generation or just certificates?

Methane-reducing feed and manure management are the heavy lifters here. These are practical farm-level changes, but the cost of implementing these supplements across thousands of small farms is usually where the plan slows down.
