In the second year of the meat sector's pioneering data collection and reporting on five key focus areas for continuous improvement, the number of companies submitting data grew by nearly 60% and now covers more than half of all establishments operated by Meat Institute members.
With 93% of the Meat Institute's largest member companies — more than 2,000 employees — submitting data, the report reflects commitments and actions covering an estimated 90% of meat sold in the United States. The Meat Institute's metrics and goals align closely with on-farm efforts in beef, pork, poultry and feed to drive supply chain-wide sustainability.
