Vincent Cleary is one of Ireland’s original champions of food sustainability. Having
taken over the family yoghurt business from his father in the mid 1990s,
Vincent knew that organics was the way forward and within a year, Glenisk was a
fully organic milk and yoghurt brand that quickly rose to dominate its market
in Ireland.
When a fire destroyed Glenisk’s production facility in 2021, Vincent was faced with
one of the biggest challenges of his career: rebuilding a family business that
he had been growing for almost 30 years. Today, Glenisk is not only thriving
but it’s also accelerating it’s sustainability goals, including plastic-free
packaging and a target to become carbon neutral by 2026.
