The 2025 proAction and Sustainability Progress Report is now available. The Progress Report is an annual update on both the proAction program and DFC’s sustainability initiatives, including how these are evolving to meet government standards, industry expectations, and the needs of Canada’s dairy farmers. 
 
In the proAction sections, the report shows how the five Technical Committees have been working hard ahead of the 2027 updates to keep the program running effectively and efficiently for farmers. 
 
In the Sustainability sections, the report outlines the Sustainability Committee’s work and how partnerships across the sector support farmers in continuous improvement on environmental targets. 

On behalf of the proAction Committee, the Sustainability Committee, and Canada's dairy farmers, DFC would like to thank everyone – including farmers, experts, researchers and industry partners – who has contributed to the shared successes in the last year. 

DFC has finalized new requirements for the housing of calves, dry cattle, and lactating cattle in the proAction Animal Care module. The new requirements align with recent updates to the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle, and will be part of on-farm validations starting in April 2027. Read our fact sheets below to learn more about the new requirements.
