Dairy Giants Take First Steps to Tackle Planet-Warming Cow Burps

Six of the world’s biggest dairy producers pledged to publicly say how much methane they emit as part of efforts to address livestock’s huge environmental footprint.

The Bel Group, Danone, General Mills, Kraft Heinz, Nestlé and a part of Lactalis have formed a group to commit to transparent accounting in their dairy supply chains, the Environmental Defense Fund announced this week during the COP28 climate summit. Each pledged to create and implement a comprehensive methane action plan, the advocacy group said.
