Event Details

Register now for WCMA’s next free, members-only webinar on Tuesday, March 12 at 1:00 p.m. (CT) focused on the value of materiality assessments for dairy processors. 

As a first step in mapping out a sustainability strategy, a well-conducted materiality assessment will help companies identify key sustainability priorities, answer customer-driven questions related to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, and to meet the growing expectations of external stakeholders and reporting institutions. 

Hear from Jennifer Block of the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy on why the time is now for dairy processors to assess their current responsible business practices and set sustainability goals for the future. Then, gather lessons learned from Kaitlyn Harbort of Foremost Farms USA, which recently completed its own materiality assessment. WCMA will also welcome Sushil Rajagopalan from our new sustainability program partner, Harbor Environmental, to present on the first steps in starting a materiality assessment and preview WCMA’s Spring 2024 Materiality Assessment Workshop, which will be held in Madison May 7-8. 

Presenters will reserve time to field audience questions during the webinar. If you’d like to share a question in advance, please email WCMA Communications Director Grace Atherton at gatherton@wischeesemakers.org by Monday, March 11 at 12:00 p.m. (CT).
