Sustainability at Ravensdown

We’re committed to smarter farming for a better New Zealand—caring for the land, our people and generations to come.

If we care for the land, if we care for the
people, we will take care of the future.

Our sustainability pillars

Our four focus areas guide what we do. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Climate responsibility

We’re focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and supply chain. We do this by setting science-aligned targets, working with partners to develop new solutions and being transparent about how we’re tracking by using recognised global frameworks.

Environmental care

We aim to have a positive impact on nature and the communities we work alongside. That means focusing on nutrient stewardship, supporting biodiversity, and improving water quality through practical tools and strong partnerships.

Social responsibility

We uphold human rights, respect Te Tiriti principles, and stay closely connected to our communities. Our people and partners are at the heart of what we do, delivering smarter farming solutions that benefit everyone.

Farm excellence

Farm Excellence is about working alongside farmers to adopt innovative solutions suited to NZ conditions, that lift productivity and reduce environmental impact.

How we’re tracking

Leading from the front, staying accountable, and doing what’s right for our
shareholders, our business, and the land we work with.

By 2025, Ravensdown had reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 41% and Scope 3 emissions by 36% compared to 2018 levels, keeping us on track for our 2030 and 2035 targets.

In 2025, we strengthened our commitment to people and communities by investing in employee engagement initiatives and setting a goal of ≥67% engagement by 2030.

We also advanced our human rights framework and launched programmes to nurture and lead our people, with a genuine focus on inclusivity and wellbeing.
