This is a complex sustainability case requiring the candidate to prioritize emission reduction opportunities across multiple business segments (farming, processing, transportation). The case tests market sizing skills (estimating cow herd size), financial analysis (cost-benefit calculations over 5 years), and strategic decision-making to meet a 45% reduction target within budget constraints.
Our client is a major milk producer in New Cowland, Milking it Co., MIC. New Cowland has recently introduced a law that means MIC has to reduce its GHG emissions by 45% of 2019 levels within the next five years or face being shut down or heavily fined. They currently produce 20% of New Cowland’s GHG emissions.
The CSO has hired us to figure out a way to reach this target.
