Our Approach

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

People & Culture

He aha te mea nui o te ao.
He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata
What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people, it is people, it is people.

We are working together to care for people and make a positive social impact.

We are committed to providing a safe, healthy and inclusive place to work and continuously developing people’s skills for meaningful careers. In this way we aim to retain, develop and attract the best people.

Nature

Tiakina te whenua i tēnei rā, hei oranga
tangata mō ngā rā e heke mai nei.
Caring for the land today, so that the
land cares for us tomorrow.

We are working together to achieve a healthy environment for farming and society.

We are committed to leading the transition to net-zero GHG emissions for dairy nutrition, adopting and investing in leading practices to improve land and water, reducing waste and protecting the wellbeing of animals in our supply chain. In this way, we aim to demonstrate that dairy can be a net-positive contributor to nature.

Working together

Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi.
With your contribution and my contribution,
we’ll all thrive together.

We are working together to deliver a sustainable business.

We believe in honest and transparent relationships where the value to the stakeholders is understood, and trust is earned. That’s why we follow ethical practices and work closely with our farmers and our vendors. We also establish specific partnerships to help accelerate progress.

It is only in this way that we will be able to provide the strong levels of employment and income creation expected from us long-term into the future.
