 Glanbia Foods Releases First Ever Sustainability Report. Glanbia Foods, Inc. is proud to release its first corporate Sustainability Report, highlighting their journey over the past 20 years from small Idaho dairy processor to the leading American-style cheese maker in the United States.

“Our Journey of Growth and Sustainability” follows GRI standards and showcases a wide range of sustainability initiatives, goals and performance data within Glanbia’s US cheese and whey operations. I called Glanbia MEDIA CONTACT: Whitney Beem and asked her what “sustainability meant: “ It is just being  responsible and I am actually trying to look this up as we speak. Are you recording this?  Yes but that’s okay. (Laughter.) We could start all over again and I could tell you a little bit better  (Laughter )” That is why I love this job. It is great to have fun with people and believe me, Whitney knows what she is doing.

 But as she told me, Glanbia Foods has developed a comprehensive approach to sustainability, based on five major streams:

• Operational excellence • Collaborative innovation • Environmental responsibility • Commitment to supporting dairy producers and the dairy industry • Commitment to supporting their employees and local communities
