Milk Matters™
Chobani offering support for their main ingredient
Milk Matters™ is about supporting everyone in dairy to make real change. And it starts with Chobani — from providing support, to making meaningful community commitments, to giving farmers the freedom to farm.
The six pillars are environmental stewardship, local sourcing, animal care, economic opportunities and support for dairy farmers. We’re collaborating with the World Wildlife Fund and National Milk Producers Federation to reduce our carbon footprint and help farms do the same. All of the dairy cooperative farms we source from today are participating in National Milk Producers Federation Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) animal care program and have completed an on-farm evaluation. We’ve bought our dairy locally from day one, and that’s not going to change. The incredible dairy farmers and farm workers who do challenging work deserve to feel safe, secure, and happy in their work environment.
