Ingham’s Sustainability Actions

Published a sustainability roadmap

Ingham’s has published a 2030 Sustainability Leadership Roadmap that sets out its main environmental, social, and governance goals. The plan covers animal welfare, worker safety, diversity, human rights, climate, water, waste, packaging, procurement, and product safety. It also says the company reports on progress through annual reports, sustainability data packs, and assurance statements. This shows the business has moved from general promises to a more structured plan with targets and reporting.

Cut emissions and use renewable power

The company says it has reduced scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are the direct emissions from its own sites and the indirect emissions from purchased electricity. It also says it entered a long-term agreement with Lodestone Energy to supply renewable electricity across its New Zealand operations. Ingham’s has also reported that all of its New Zealand-operated sites were powered by Lodestone, with renewable electricity matched to certified solar generation. These steps point to a shift toward lower-carbon operations.

Improved waste and packaging

Ingham’s says it has reduced landfill waste intensity and increased the share of recyclable packaging. It also reports progress on recycled content in packaging. The roadmap says the company wants packaging to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable, and it has already reported high levels of recyclable packaging in its FY25 highlights. This matters because packaging and landfill waste are major parts of a food company’s environmental impact.

Set supplier and deforestation rules

The company says it requires suppliers with significant spend to sign its Supplier Code of Conduct, with all suppliers expected to be covered by 2030. It also says it has reached certified deforestation-free soymeal in Australia and most of New Zealand. Soy feed can be linked to deforestation if it is not sourced carefully, so this is a supply-chain step aimed at reducing land-use harm. The company also says it is working with suppliers and researchers on soy alternatives.

Reported animal welfare audits

Ingham’s says animal health and welfare is a core part of its sustainability plan. It states that it will transparently report independent animal welfare audits in its farming and processing operations. The company also points to animal welfare improvements in its farming systems and mentions RSPCA-approved and SPCA-certified content in its public material. These references suggest animal welfare is treated as a formal part of its ESG work, not just a side issue.

Published modern slavery reporting

The sustainability page links to modern slavery statements and says the company identifies, reduces, and reports on human rights and modern slavery risks. It also says it carries out due diligence on suppliers in higher-risk industries. Modern slavery means forced or exploitative labour, often hidden in supply chains. Publishing this kind of reporting shows the company is addressing labour risk in its sourcing network.
