Vision
To achieve its Vision, the DMSC must engage both with the dairy manufacturing sector and with the broader dairy supply chain. This Vision is:- To provide value and drive change across the dairy industry by promoting and delivering best practice initiatives, and by encouraging innovation beyond best practice;
To influence the transfer of key skills and knowledge, and guide research activity;
- To be highly respected and consulted, both within and outside Australia, because of our reputation for excellence in promoting environmental sustainability;
- To be seen as a leader in environmental sustainability through expertise, drive and a passion for excellence.
- To work collaboratively to address evolving industry challenges.
The first of these targets was to look at the amount of fresh water used across dairy processing. The measure reported is Water Intensity as defined by the number of litres of water consumed to process one litre of milk into finished product(s). As can be seen from the first graph the industry is tracking well to meet its target, being slightly below the track between the baseline and 2020 target of 1.4L of water per litre of milk processed.
