Sustainability • Second element of the audit is the Sustainability Survey.
• Increasingly becoming a more important focus for customers.
“Sustainability is becoming important enough for us to have
appointed a director for it” – convenience food group
“Sustainability is increasingly becoming a qualifying factor for
choosing suppliers” – IF manufacturer
“if presented with an identical offer by 2 suppliers, sustainability
and something such as Origin Green could be the point that swings the purchasing decision” – clinical nutrition

Protect and Promote
• Many Irish dairy products have a premium status.
• Maintaining the position is an increasing challenge.
• We cannot compete on volume – must compete on quality.
• SDAS builds the sustainability profile of our dairy industry.
• SDAS provides proof of the high quality system in place.

Ireland has a Green Reality
This sets apart from our competitors.
No longer good enough to talk about it. We need to measure, prove and verify.
