Shipping and transporting kiwifruit is responsible for the greatest carbon output in the ZESPRI® Kiwifruit supply chain - accounting for 35% of all emissions. This sector of the business provides a significant opportunity for reductions in emissions.
We work in conjunction with all our shipping companies, making sure our premium fruit is not damaged during export, arriving in top condition to consumers around the world. Our strong relationships with our partners have allowed us to initiate several sustainability programmes to make carbon reductions in this area a reality.
