Fonterra is a New Zealand Co-operative made up of everyday people who work together to do good things with dairy, good things with the land they work on and good things for the people that their products end up with. The co-op is passionate about doing amazing things with dairy, believing that food and nutrition are essential to sustain the world today and for future generations to thrive which is why they take great care of every drop of milk, from the beginning, through every step of the way. It is with dedication and care that they are able to produce safe and high-quality food, and Fonterra’s dairy know-how and innovation capability means they can do amazing things with milk to enhance people’s lives.
Fonterra’s Core sets the current standards for the Co-operative that ensures it meets the expectations of its customers, communities and regulators. It’s the company’s Terms of Supply, Farm Dairy Assessment, Farm Dairy Records and our Performance Management System that supports the farmer and protects the Co-op when things don’t go to plan. Their Next Steps is about getting ready for emerging issues that are either opportunities to create new value and/or risks to existing value. It recognizes those farmers who have already made changes and encourages every other member of the Co-op to follow
To build a sustainable future, Fonterra is focused on three goals that go hand-in-hand: healthy people, a healthy environment and a healthy business. Healthy people is about working together to care for people and make a positive social impact. Healthy environment is about working together to achieve a healthy environment for farming and society. Healthy business is about working together to deliver a sustainable business.
