At Cabot, we greatly value multiple bottom lines, healthy natural resources, human well-being and, by extension, our Cabot community.
We are committed to the principles of cooperation, and support our communities. Our co-operative's typical member is a multi-generational dairy farm family, a trend we endeavor to extend for a long time to come.
As a cooperative, the scope of our sustainability work is very broad - we recognize our impacts from cow-to-creamery-to-customer.
Our diagram depicts what we see as our scope, both on the Farm or cooperative side (cow-to-creamery) and on the Brand or commercial side (creamery-to-customer).
We are proud that our Cabot fans are interested in all of these elements as they choose to support our brand with their purchases.

Context-based Sustainability
Too many sustainability metrics focus solely on performance, without any context.
Context-based Sustainability (CBS) prescribes that, in addition to measuring our own impacts, we must compare our results to appropriate thresholds or standards of performance for those impacts.
