The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy is accepting nominations for the second annual U.S. Dairy Sustainability Awards. The awards program recognizes dairy farms, businesses and collaborative partnerships for their sustainability efforts.

Nominations are open through November 15 to all segments of the U.S. dairy industry in four categories: Outstanding Dairy Farm Sustainability, Outstanding Dairy Processing and Manufacturing Sustainability, Outstanding Achievement in Renewable Energy and Outstanding Achievement in Energy Efficiency.

All nominations will be evaluated by an independent panel of judges who will measure the nominated program’s or project’s results using economic, environmental and social metrics. Read more about the criteria here.

The winners will be announced next April. For more information or to nominate, visit USDairy.com/Sustainability/Awards.
