Our values
Farming for generations
We want farming in Aotearoa, New Zealand to continue for generations to come that is why we want to help Fonterra farmers achieve good farming practices to contribute to soil health, water quality, biodiversity, animal wellbeing and emissions reductions.
We farm alongside nature, following the natural patterns of pasture growth, we are proud that New Zealand farmers are amongst the worlds most efficient producers of dairy¹. We know that there is more work to do, and we are committed to reducing our emissions, taking a long term view on how we act today – to support the sustainability of dairy farming in New Zealand.
We believe that food and nutrition are essential to sustain us today and for future generations to thrive. Which is why we take great care of every drop of milk, from the beginning, through every step of the way. It’s our dedication and care that enables us to produce safe and high-quality food, and our dairy know-how and innovation capability mean we can do amazing things with our milk to enhance people’s lives.
