The Canadian Meat Council Is Bringing The Protein PACT To Canada

The Canadian Meat Council (CMC) is pleased to launch the Protein PACT sustainability framework for the Canadian meat processing sector. This significant initiative aims to enhance sustainability practices across the industry, aligning with global standards while addressing critical issues.

The Protein PACT, developed by the U.S. based Meat Institute, is a partnership uniting stakeholders across the animal protein industry to accelerate progress toward global sustainable development goals, focusing on people, animals, communities, and the environment.

By bringing the Protein PACT to Canada, CMC members will be able to collaboratively and pre- competitively advance the sustainability of the animal processing sector. By adapting this framework for Canada, the CMC is empowering Canadian meat processors to collaborate on shared sustainability goals and work together to improve North American-wide practices.

“Canada’s red meat processing sector have sophisticated science-based practices and outcomes across their establishments and systems in place,” says CMC President & CEO Chris White “this initiative will provide a vehicle to broadly communicate these initiatives and demonstrate our leadership to key stakeholders.”

“By uniting industry stakeholders under a common framework, the Protein PACT will ensure that Canada’s meat processors can continuously improve their operations to achieve the highest standards of sustainability, transparency, and accountability,” adds Meat Institute President and CEO Julie Anna Potts.

Through initiatives like the Protein PACT, the North American meat processing industry is poised to make even greater strides in advancing sustainability and meeting the challenges of the future.
