Caring for Communities

Doing good together in our communities

We partner with organisations to collectively do more for our communities and show manaakitanga (generosity and care).

Together, we’ll continue to support communities in need with the natural goodness of dairy. We'll work to protect and regenerate the environment for future generations, and provide the care and support that keeps our communities strong, both in New Zealand and around the world. Because a better world comes from doing good, together.

Eat Well with Fonterra

A collaboration with Yayasan Food Bank in reaching out to lower-income families through a sustainable education programme of balanced eating. It’s in difficult times, that being Good Together and giving back matters even more.

Community Pantries in Manilla

The ongoing pandemic has left everyday Filipinos feeling the pinch financially and many, compromising on nutrition. Community food pantries have sprouted across provinces, with only one rule: Give what you can, take what you need. 

Our team in the Philippines have unselfishly donated their monthly milk product allocations to the pantries, challenging one another other to do the same.

Caring for Mums in Vietnam

Pregnant women, lactating mothers and young children need access to micronutrient-rich food –fresh vegetables, fruits, fish– but these perishables have been more vulnerable to supply chain disruption in the ongoing pandemic.

As one of the top maternal milk brands, we contributed thousands of packs of our Anmum concentrate to support pregnant women in isolated areas with very little access to nutrition and to hospitals that treat pregnant patients.

The Dairy Partnership Cluster in Indonesia

The Dairy Partnership Cluster is to mobilize and support dairy farmers in the Padang Panjang region to improve the dairy value chain, which includes production and milk quality; increase the population of dairy cattle in the district; create market opportunities, increase incomes; and improve the health and welfare of the surrounding communities.

With our world-class dairy expertise, we train and upskill farmers on rearing and farm management, infrastructure construction, and milk testing and cooling technology and marketing of milk products, also introducing and establishing quality forage to improve milk production.
