Canadian Dairy Commission's reported carbon emissions

The Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) is committed to addressing climate change, although specific emissions data for recent years is not available. Currently, there are no documented carbon emissions figures, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, which limits the ability to quantify their carbon footprint. Despite the absence of specific emissions data, the CDC is actively engaged in initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the dairy sector. However, no formal reduction targets or commitments have been outlined in their available documentation. As the dairy industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding its environmental impact, the CDC's efforts to enhance sustainability practices will be crucial in aligning with broader climate goals. The organisation's future commitments and strategies will be essential in driving progress towards a more sustainable dairy sector in Canada.
