Stephen Cadogan: Clóna brings Ireland’s unique SDAS to new benchmark

Clóna Dairy Products Ltd in West Cork can this week claim to be the first milk company in the world systematically measuring and improving the environmental performance of all its milk suppliers.

Ireland leads the world as the only country working towards measurable standards for dairy quality assurance and sustainable production, through the fully accredited Bord Bia Sustainable Dairy Assurance Scheme (SDAS), and Clóna lead the way in Ireland, after announcing last Monday it is first in Ireland to have 100% of its suppliers accredited to SDAS.
