Brownes Dairy Sustainability Actions

Published sustainability materials

Brownes Dairy says it has published a 2022 Sustainability Report, an APCO Report, and a Modern Slavery Statement. An APCO Report is linked to the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation, which tracks packaging progress, and a Modern Slavery Statement explains steps a company takes to reduce the risk of forced labour in its supply chain. These documents suggest the company has started to report on environmental and social issues in a more formal way.

Farm environmental practices

The company says dairy farmers use several methods to reduce environmental harm on farms. These include planting shelter belts of trees, re-vegetating riverbanks, testing soil before adding fertiliser, measuring soil moisture before irrigation, and diverting water from the milking shed into settling ponds so it can later be reused. These actions are meant to reduce erosion, runoff, salinity, and waste while making water and fertiliser use more efficient.

Lowering farm emissions

Brownes Dairy says farmers try to reduce greenhouse gases by keeping cows well fed and by using renewable energy such as solar or wind power. It also explains that methane from dairy cows is a major source of farm emissions and says researchers are looking at feed changes to cut those emissions. This shows the company is aware of the climate impact of dairy farming and is pointing to practical ways farms can reduce it.
