Our Sustainability - It's More than Business

The way that we manage our environment affects our long term economic viability, our image and our reputation as a trustworthy business leader.  
As guardians of the environment for future generations, we all have a stake in protecting it, and promoting best practices which will ensure that our
grandchildren and their children have a healthy and prosperous future.

ANZCO’s commitment to the wise stewardship of the environment:

Starts on the properties where our farmers grow and nurture their livestock.		Includes the suppliers of processing materials, through our approved supplier programme.		Incorporates the best practice of contractors who deliver the livestock to our processing facilities.		Continues at the accredited processing facilities where the livestock is converted into foods and healthcare solutions, and other by-products.		Extends to the sustainable transportation and packaging of products to our customers and end users.		Resides with us as we seek to be vigilant in our efforts to find creative and progressive solutions that mitigate and minimise any adverse environmental impact.

The Steps We’re Taking

• Implementing a group-wide energy management programme. 

• Reducing waste of any resource.

• Regularly tuning combustion plants to ensure air discharges operate within agreed limits.

• Using environmentally compatible technologies and systems to handle waste.

• Reducing air travel and our carbon footprint by using video-conferencing and audio-conferencing where possible.

• Using local/regional suppliers, wherever possible.

• Consistent and collaborative approach to resource consent monitoring to ensure compliance with local environmental standards.

• Reducing water use and improving water efficiency in our processing plants.

• Using lean manufacturing to enhance process efficiencies and ensure continuous improvement.
