About Fonterra

Fonterra is one of New Zealand’s largest milk suppliers, working with New Zealand farmers to produce high quality New Zealand milk products. Fonterra is a multinational dairy co-operative owned by New Zealand farmers. It provides approximately 30% of the world’s milk exports and is one of New Zealand’s largest companies. 

One of Fonterra’s key initiatives is working to be a sustainability conscious and clean green company. This is due to controversy in New Zealand regarding dairy farming polluting waterways and poor practices in farms in regards to environmental care. In 2003 Fonterra became a signatory on the Dairy and Clean Streams Accord, which regulated whether farms are fences and where affluent from farms is disposed of. Further to this Fonterra is working with the New Zealand government to ensure ‘dirty farms’ are penalised for malpractice. On their website they also promote sustainability and their commitment to creating health living in New Zealand. 

Fonterra is also involved significantly in the local community, the key initiative being the KickStart breakfast programme that provides breakfast to schools within New Zealand. Fonterra provides the milk required for this initiative, working witth Sanatarium and that New Zealand Government to ensure kiwi kids are provided with a nutritional breakfast regardless of their background and living situation.

History

Fonterra is a New Zealand dairy co-operative, run by thousands of farmers across New Zealand. The co-operative was established in 1871 in Otago and has since become the primary nationwide co-operative dairy organisation. In 2005 the company purchased a factory in Victoria, Australia and started working with farmers in Australia to keep up with their international demand for milk products.
