Case Study: a multinational dairy company achieves a credible emissions reduction pathway with dss+

From corporate ambition to farmer-led implementation

The customer, a multinational dairy company, faced the challenge of meeting a -34% GHG reduction target by 2031. This required establishing a credible emissions baseline and creating a practical pathway to achieve it, which was complicated by the need to gather farm-level data and engage a large, diverse network of independent farmers. The vendor dss+ was engaged to address this.

dss+ built a comprehensive bottom-up emissions baseline using farm and field-level data and soil sampling. Their solution combined emissions modelling with direct farmer engagement through site visits, surveys, and workshops to co-develop realistic measures. They also designed a financial incentive mechanism to encourage widespread adoption of decarbonization practices across the farmer base, which produces approximately 65 million kg of milk.
