The Zespri Way
Zespri’s ambition is to be the world’s healthiest fruit brand by 2035, with sustainability underpinning our efforts to achieve this.
Our approach to sustainability is embedded within our 2035 strategy across our strategic drivers of Transforming Global Supply, Unleashing Brand Led Demand and Creating the Product Portfolio of the Future. This includes our ambition for net zero emissions by 2050 and a climate resilient kiwifruit industry.
The kiwifruit we produce is in demand around the world for its great taste and the natural nutritional boost it offers. In response, we are embedding more sustainable and resilient practices across our global supply chain, while as an industry contributing to strong, thriving communities in New Zealand and across the globe.
Our Four Strategic areas
We are focusing our efforts on four strategic areas that reflect both our impact on the world and the risks and opportunities we face:
Nutrition
Creating social and financial value through delivering a nutrition-dense healthy product to our consumers in a way that addresses societal challenges to maintaining good diets.
Decarbonisation
Reducing risk exposure and protecting access to markets by taking a step-by-step approach to decarbonising our business.
Climate resilience
Building the resilience of our organisation to the impacts of climate change.
Packaging
Ensuring we differentiate our brand through iconic packaging that meets consumer expectations.
In addition we are undertaking work on water, biodiversity, diversity, equity and inclusion, and worker rights.
