SUSTAINABILITY
A greener tomorrow starts at the source.
Our ambition is to be net-zero by 2040 — and to leave every mountain we work in better than we found it.
OUR PILLARS
Four pillars, one commitment.
Our sustainability strategy is built around the areas where we can make the greatest difference: our climate, our watersheds, our animals and our communities. Every year we publish detailed progress against clear, science-based targets.
Net-zero by 2040
Climate
Reducing scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions across our own operations and the extended supply chain.
-25% water intensity by 2030
Water
Modernising plants and irrigation to protect the alpine watersheds we depend on.
100% certified farms
Animal welfare
Every producer audited annually against Aotearoa’s highest welfare standards.
$3M annually
Communities
Invested each year in the high-country communities where our kaimahi, farms and whānau live.
ANIMAL WELFARE
Every cow, treated like family.
Our herds spend their days on pasture, drink from mountain-fed streams and are cared for by families that have known them for generations. Every member farm is audited annually to the highest welfare standards in Aotearoa.
- 100% ProAction® certified farms
- Free-of-tether housing standard by 2028
- 24/7 veterinary hotline for member farms
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
A better future — all together.
From food-bank donations to youth-agriculture scholarships, we invest in the resilience of the communities that made us who we are. Because dairy is more than an industry — it’s a way of life.
