Nutrition
Dairy helps you live a healthier life. We take its natural goodness, apply our Aussie ingenuity and make delicious, nutritious food.
Community
In Australia and around the world our industry plays an important role in supporting rural livelihoods and community development.
Environment
Strong healthy local environments and communities are the foundation for sustainable, profitable dairy farming.
Helping rural communities thrive
We know our industry plays an important role in supporting rural livelihoods and community development.
We formed our Fonterra Grass Roots Fund in 2011 because we believe that when we partner with local community groups, we can really make a difference.
Rubber to the road – Merri River School students enjoy new mountain bikes
On farmland located on the northern edges of Warrnambool sits the new Merri River School. The special developmental school is not the only new thing the students get to enjoy – they’ve just received 10 new mountain bikes with funding from Fonterra.
Together, we have built something special
When the primary cheese plant at our Stanhope factory in northern Victoria was destroyed by a fire in 2014, a major reconstruction project was required to fix it – meaning a considerable number of materials were needed, from fresh timber to new machinery and stainless-steel vats.
Helping those in need when it’s needed the most
Last year was a difficult time. Australians were still recovering from the devastating bushfires when COVID-19 took hold.
Creating belonging and embracing difference in our business
Diversity and inclusion go hand-in-hand and at Fonterra we care about being an inclusive and diverse place to work, where everyone can be themselves and be their best in everything they do.
