A Unified Approach

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

1. Set Clear Goals

A task force of producers 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 goals align with 13 of the 17 UN SDGs.

We Care® + UN SDGs

Our commitment to pigs, people and the planet 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.
