This year we will be featuring DSF Members actions to improve performance under the economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainability. Three breakout sessions are planned for the three pillars and will be introduced by our three sustainability “ambassadors” – Kendra Campbell (Dairy Australia), Richard Walton (Meiji Dairies) and Zoe Kavanagh (National Dairy Council Ireland). Breakouts will provide delegates the opportunity for deeper insights into how Members are tackling specific sustainability challenges.
