Fonterra and Nestlé are pleased to share promising results from their Net Zero Pilot Dairy Farm in Taranaki, two years on from announcing their partnership to help reduce on-farm emissions.

Some of Fonterra’s largest customers are in New Zealand this week seeing firsthand the value of sustainably produced dairy.

Fonterra’s southernmost site, Edendale, has taken a significant step in its decarbonisation journey with the commissioning of the Co-op's first electrode boiler.

Nestlé is again this season offering an additional 1-2 cent payment to Fonterra farmers who achieve The Co-operative Difference.

Fonterra Director of Sustainability Charlotte Rutherford says she’s delighted the Co-op’s emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).

We are already well underway with shifting our manufacturing operations to renewable energy sources. Over the past six years, we have carried out decarbonisation projects at five different sites and we’re looking forward to continuing this momentum.
