Webinar: Can Organic Dairy Meet Science-Based Climate Goals? - Jun 2026

📅 17 June 2026 | 📍 Rodale Institute, 611 Siegfriedale Road, Kutztown, PA, 19530, United States
The Science-Based Targets Initiative is the leading framework for corporate climate action, used by over 10,000 companies globally, including some of the world’s biggest dairy brands. But the details behind corporate climate plans are rarely shared publicly, so it can be hard to evaluate the science behind a science-based target. In this webinar, we use data from a fast-growing organic yogurt company, Painterland Sisters, to assess the feasibility of meeting science-based targets for organic dairy. We show that SBTi’s “near term” targets are readily achievable for organic dairy. But SBTi’s “long term” net-zero targets appear to be currently unfeasible. We share some alternative long-term ideas for climate and dairy, including “fossil fuel free” dairy and separate goals for methane and other greenhouse gases.
Panelists will include:
Franklin Egan and Matty Rotman, Painterland Sisters
Sage Dennis, Rodale Institute
