Life at Fonterra

At Fonterra, our people are at the heart of our success.

On this page

Like all organisations, we’re on a journey.  A journey that is shaped by our history, the future we want to lead into, our purpose and our values. 

Most of all, our journey is shaped by our people, and what they bring to our Co-op.  We have a pure, natural product with unlimited potential, and a team of diverse individuals that can achieve anything, too. Key to this is creating an environment where we can bring our best and true selves to work, every day.
