Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited (the Co-op) has today announced that it will proceed with an ownership review of Fonterra Australia. The Co-op is considering the most appropriate ownership structure for Fonterra Australia, one option includes an IPO, with the intention that the Co-op retains a significant stake.

Fonterra takes its dairying responsibilities seriously and we’re committed to ensuring that our suppliers manage the welfare of animals responsibly and meet their obligations as custodians of the environment on which they farm.
