Fonterra Sustainability Commitments
2030
Cut on-farm emissions intensity
Fonterra says it aims to reduce on-farm emissions intensity by 30% by 2030 from a 2018 baseline. Emissions intensity means the amount of emissions created for each unit of milk produced. The company says this target is part of its Climate Roadmap and is important for its wider plan to stay competitive while lowering climate impact.
2050
Reach net zero by 2050
Fonterra says it is working toward net zero by 2050. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals. The company says this goal covers its wider value chain, not just its own operations, and sits at the centre of its climate action plan.
2050
Support a nature-positive future
Fonterra says it wants to contribute to a nature-positive future by 2050. Nature positive is a goal to halt and reverse nature loss, so that ecosystems recover over time. The company says it is focusing on land, water, and biodiversity, and wants to reduce its impact while helping regenerate ecosystems across its value chain.
