carbon accounting system for the dairy value chain
The Climate Source built the first full supply chain accounting system for dairy cooperatives and processors to manage emissions inventories, calculate product-level footprints, and transfer carbon attributes to downstream customers
What is bounddairy?
A carbon accounting and data management system that reflects real life dairy operations to enable supplier-led, product-level emissions reporting.
BoundDairy Accounting allows dairy cooperatives, processors, and brands to invest in on-farm and facility-level carbon reduction programs with a clear ROI.
