As climate change becomes one of the most pressing global challenges, the Irish beef sector is committed to playing a role in meeting ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets. At the forefront of these efforts, Meat Industry Ireland (MII) and its primary beef processing members are actively working towards positioning Ireland as an international leader in sustainability across all dimensions—economic, environmental, and social.

In February 2023, MII launched their first Beef Sector Sustainability report, committing members to eleven key actions to reduce carbon emissions. The report highlights the significant sustainability progress that has been made to date given the emphasis that is demanded by the marketplace. There is also strong focus on how the beef sector will contribute towards the 25% emissions reduction target for agriculture as set out in the National Climate Action Plan.
