Explore Pork’s Sustainability Progress

Symbol Star

A Unified Approach

The pork industry’s approach to sustainability is rooted in the We Care® principles and sustainability goals.

1. Set Clear Goals

The National Pork Board set clear, science-based benchmarks with key performance indicators to track progress toward 2030 goals.

2. Adapt to Local Needs

Farm practices differ due to local climates, soil types, and regulations, yet all contribute equally to the industry’s sustainability efforts.

3. Measure Impact

Pork producers track their We Care® efforts and report data, which is anonymized and aggregated to showcase industry-wide progress.

We Care® + UN SDGs

Our commitment to public health aligns with 13 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals in ways that resonate with our values. We seek to exceed their benchmarks where possible and reimagine solutions where we believe they fall short or overreach.

By setting and exceeding our own high standards, we aim to lead by example and foster meaningful change.
