What we stand for
The dairy industry is built from the ground up, and we are committed to making a positive difference to our people, our farmers, our customers, our communities and environments where we operate.
Our milk is precious. We want to keep it that way.
We do all we can to protect our milk. We give the utmost care and attention to ensure the integrity of our product is protected as it journeys along our carefully managed, world-class supply chain.
Why we love dairy.
Dairy is considered a ‘’good for you” food and is one of the five core food groups recommended by the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
It is the richest natural food source of bio-available calcium and provides energy and high-quality protein which helps grow and repair muscles. Dairy products help meet the body’s need for:
- Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) which helps reduce tiredness.
- Vitamin B12 which supports normal brain function.
- Vitamin A which supports vision and immune function.
- Calcium which makes teeth and bones strong.
- Phosphorus which supports the generation of energy from nutrient.
- Potassium which helps maintain a healthy blood pressure.
Your health is important to us.
We offer dairy products that meet different health and wellness needs of consumers all over the world. This is based on a belief in quality products, sound science and 'doing what's right' by our consumers. We continually review our product portfolio to move our everyday products towards using minimum quantities of added sugars, refined carbohydrates, added fats, salt and other additives without comprising on quality, taste, texture or safety.
