"The Clean Approach"

Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream


As Sustainability Advisor for Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc., Clean completed a detailed Screening Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the Haagen-Dazs single-serve cup. Over the past couple months, our Research Team has taken a detailed look at this product over it's overall life cycle by gathering primary data through consultation with suppliers, packaging engineers, logistics managers and facility managers.

By identifying the most significant environmental impacts in the value chain, the study provides Dreyer's Sustainability Council with recommendations for implementation which sets the stage for strategic alignment with Nestlé's 'Creating Shared Value' initiative.

The study highlights areas in the value chain with the greatest potential leverage to make improvements, including a set of recommendations focused on limiting environmental impacts of energy use, climate change and water across the entire product life cycle.

Using a life cycle perspective, Dreyer's can now embark on collaborations with a variety of stakeholders including farmers, retailers, suppliers and consumers facilitating such improvements.
