Starbucks, Lactanet, FCC, DFC join on sustainability

 Starbucks coffee chain, Lactanet dairy services company, Farm Credit Canada and Dairy Farmers of Canada have joined forces on dairy-industry sustainability projects. 


Starbucks has committed $500,000 to support dairy sustainability-focused projects over the course of this year, rewarding the continued efforts of Canadian dairy farmers on their path to net zero.


The partnership includes three projects.

 

The first is already underway for 2024 in collaboration with Farm Credit Canada and Lactanet for FCC’s Dairy Sustainability Incentive Program. 

This program rewards farmers who are successfully adopting environmental best management practices and encourages continued sustainable farming by granting annual incentives of up to $2,000 to FCC customers who meet select criteria. 


As part of its partnership with DFC and overall investment for the year, Starbucks will provide additional funding to the FCC program in two new categories, Top Achieving and Most Improved, further recognizing the sustainability successes of Canadian dairy farmers.
