Our commitments
We aspire to be the preferred choice for our people, farmers, and customers, driven by our unwavering commitments to sustainability and welfare. Choose to partner with ANZCO Foods as we lead the way in fostering a business ethos that cherishes both the present and the future.
Our approach
New Zealand's natural setting is ideal for raising top-quality beef and lamb, allowing animals to roam freely. Our commitment to their well-being is evident through careful treatment, ensuring happy, healthy lives.
Our committee
ANZCO's Animal Welfare Committee ensures the highest level of care in our operations by overseeing policies, developing strategies, and regularly reviewing requirements.
Our partnerships
We collaborate with stakeholders across our supply chain, including farmers, transport operators, and regulatory bodies like the Ministry for Primary Industries, Beef + Lamb NZ, Dairy NZ, the New Zealand Meat Industry Association, and AgriZeroNZ.
Our sustainability journey goes beyond meeting current business needs —it's a commitment to a way of working that safeguards the needs of future generations.
Elevating sustainability beyond business
Our sustainability journey is about a way of working that meets current business needs without compromising the needs of future generations. At ANZCO Foods, we recognise the crucial role of safeguarding New Zealand's pristine environment. As dedicated members of the Climate Leaders Coalition and Sustainable Business Council, we actively contribute to the sustainable business landscape.
ANZCO Foods is proud to be a founding investor in AgriZeroNZ – a pioneering public-private partnership between the New Zealand government and leading agribusinesses like ours. Together, we’re committed to empowering farmers to lower emissions without sacrificing productivity or profitability. AgriZeroNZ has set ambitious goals: a 30% reduction in biogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions by 2030, progressing toward a ‘near-zero’ New Zealand by 2040.
