A Virginia firm has become the first Irish dairy company to receive the prestigious 'Carbon Trust Standard' award, a globally recognised certification for organisations that have measured, managed and reduced their carbon footprint, and committed to making further reductions year on year.
The award follows a concerted effort by management and staff in Glanbia's Virginia facility that has resulted in an 8.5% reduction in carbon emissions relative to plant output over the last three years. The Virginia facility manufactures a range of 'Enriched Milk Powders' for export and fresh cream for the global drinks brand Baileys.
