Dairy UK, the industry body, said a “benchmarking tool” will allow the organisation;s members to record their performance against key environmental indicators – and compare that performance against their peers.


The tool will help Dairy UK measure the sector’s progress against targets set out in last year’s “Milk Roadmap”.
