Why Protein PACT?
The North American Meat Institute and partners across animal protein are uniting in the Protein PACT (For the People, Animals and Climate of Tomorrow). The first-ever joint effort to accelerate the entire animal protein sector’s progress toward global sustainable development goals for healthy people, healthy animals, healthy communities, and a healthy environment.
To achieve the Protein PACT vision, NAMI members are establishing transparent baselines and benchmarks for our efforts, setting ambitious targets for continuous improvement, collecting data to verify and transparently report on progress, and launching comprehensive communications about animal protein’s unique place in sustainable, healthy diets.
