As a step toward Horizon Organic's carbon positive by 2025 goal, the company has published an executive summary of its lifecycle assessment (LCA) on Horizon Organic whole milk half gallons, providing a look at the brand's carbon footprint and the next steps that it will take to reduce emissions. Horizon is aiming to achieve carbon neutrality, and then go beyond by removing or preventing additional carbon from entering the atmosphere, becoming carbon positive.
"Time is not on our side when it comes to climate change, and it's the responsibility of businesses to act with urgency and transparency," says Deanna Bratter, head of sustainable development at Danone North America. "Releasing Horizon Organic's carbon footprint is only the first step in this journey. We're now focusing on partnerships and investing in our family farmers to implement carbon reduction projects to meet our ambitious carbon positive by 2025 goal."
