Planet

We are as passionate about protecting our planet as we are about producing quality food. Take a closer look at our work towards greater sustainability.

"Conducting ourselves with the highest ethical standards."

We believe sustainability is about doing good for our people, our community, our environment, and our business so we can continue to meet our customers’ needs today without affecting the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

Our Long-Standing Commitment to Sustainability

In a world that’s changing at rapid speed, we want to remain at the forefront of sustainability. As Australia and New Zealand’s largest integrated poultry producer, we want to go beyond producing quality food in the hope that we can impact the world for good. We strive to be ethical and sustainable in our practices from the farm to the fork.

To do this, we focus on our material impacts and putting the organisation’s most important stakeholders — the consumers — at the heart of what we do. Our sustainability focus areas represent our commitment to delivering positive economic, environmental, and social outcomes:

Animal Welfare

How our birds are raised has an impact on food quality and safety. So, we’ve collaborated with the world’s best animal welfare authorities and retailers to develop programs for the wellbeing of our birds.

Water Stewardship

To achieve sustainable water management within a water catchment context, we are leading the way with certification to the global Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) framework.

Environmental Compliance

and performance. Management plans are in place for all sites, and we have a regular reporting system of water use, energy and greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate Change

adaptation and resilience. We are continuously planning for climate change across all areas of our business — from studying how hot weather can impact bird health to how the availability of water can disrupt operations.

Labour Practices

and safety. Striving for Zero Harm and sending employees home safely at the end of each workday underpins our proactive Safety for Life Program that operates within our comprehensive Work Health and Safety Management System.

Sustainable Agriculture

We’re committed to finding solutions to expand our planet’s natural resource base while protecting the natural environment and the animals and improving the social and economic conditions of our farmers.

Ethical Sourcing

and sustainable procurement. We employ an ethical sourcing strategy to manage risks related to quality, sustainability, financial, operational, and commercial considerations across a broad range of procurement categories.
