Today & Tomorrow

A sustainable future for our Co-operative is core to our strategy – it’s how we create long-term value for future generations.

There’s real value in the ability of Fonterra to ensure a co-ordinated and considered approach to address rising concerns from customers and consumers around issues such as sustainability. Which is why we’re investing more than ever in innovative sustainability initiatives that will assist everything we do – from on-farm priorities to customer product use.

The Co-operative Difference framework ensures that our on-farm practices support our strategy and ensures you have the opportunity to adapt to changes at pace that works for you and your business.

Success starts with your farm.

Because we’re owned by Kiwi families, our profits come back to New Zealand. Ultimately, a strong and sustainable Fonterra leads to a stronger and more sustainable Aotearoa.

Fonterra’s strength of scale in a volatile world reduces risk and provides value to you, our customers, and New Zealand. We have had another year of strong financial results despite pandemic disruptions, as we have been able to use our robust supply chain partnerships to ensure we are able to continue to export our products around the world and maximise value to our shareholders.

Farmers are better off when they are together

As a member of Fonterra Co-operative, farmers can act collectively on issues that impact them; gain efficiencies through working together; and pool resources to drive continued innovation. The certainty that comes with Fonterra collecting milk and paying a maximum farm gate milk price has led to greater investment and optimisation of on-farm assets by farmers, improving productivity.

Success starts with your farm.

Farm Source’s tools and services are constantly evolving to meet farmers’ changing needs. Our farmers have access to support and services; and tools to view and compare key business data, making it easier to manage the challenges of efficient milk production on farm.

For example, we’re working with farmers to create Farm Environment Plans free-of-charge and we’ve made unique emissions profile reports available to all our New Zealand farms.
