Ice cream manufacturers Ben & Jerry's said Thursday it
created a dairy advisory council, hoping to promote its values-led
dairy vision.
The council is made up of experts in environmental health,
animal protection, organic farming and others, the company
said.
The company said it would like to see all dairy used to
manufacture of its products sourced from dairy farms that promote
dignified livelihoods for farmers and farm workers, practice
exceptional animal welfare and don't use harmful chemicals or GMOs.
Further, dairy providers should operate their farms in such a way
that they act as a net carbon sink, the company said.
Cheryl Pinto, Ben & Jerry's Values-Led Sourcing Manager,
said, "We're proud of the work Vermont dairy farmers have done with
Ben & Jerry's, and we know we have a long way to go to achieve
our vision. Dairy farmers are facing increasingly complex issues
and we recognize the need for the Council's advice and insight in
helping us build a program which brings about beneficial outcomes
for all."
Ben & Jerry's is a Vermont corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Unilever NV (UN).
