Frequently asked questions
Our targets are driven by the long-term expectations of key global customers who have ambitious climate goals. Fonterra is responding to these market trends to protect and create value for farmers and the Co-op.
New Zealand dairy is well positioned, but emissions is a highly competitive global space and we can’t stand still. Other dairy exporters are also working hard to reduce emissions and win business with strategic customers.
Reporting and reducing emissions helps Fonterra protect market access, secure long-term customer agreements, and create additional value by being among the lowest-emissions dairy suppliers available.
Lower emissions often come from improved farm efficiency, which can increase productivity and profitability. Some farmers can also access customer-funded incentives and premiums.
It's already delivering value through customer premiums, long-term contracts, and on-farm efficiency gains. Farmers improving productivity while lowering emissions are already seeing benefits now.
