Corporate summit on putting environmental and social impact at the core of dairy’s future

Midlands Park Hotel | Thursday, February 27, 2025

About the Summit

Following on from our highly successful inaugural summit in February 2024, we are delighted to announce the 2nd Annual ESG in Dairy Summit will take place in the Midlands Park Hotel Portlaoise on February 27, 2025. The summit brings together the entire dairy ecosystem including agri and dairy leaders, policy makers, co-ops and processors, farmer representative bodies and ESG audit and advisory professionals, all to explore how and why ESG must take centre stage in any discussion on the future of the dairy industry.. 

There has been a quantum change in attitudes towards sustainability as it is now increasingly viewed as a value creator rather than a reporting burden. It has become a central principle of today's dairy industry, an integral business driver that is key to attracting capital, customers, talent and creating value. This summit discusses the ESG journey and its effect on all future strategy and decision making. It details how It is no longer enough to just do sustainability but to be truly sustainable.
