More than 600 entries were submitted, with Fonterra Australia earning a prestigious place alongside 50 other top projects.
Fonterra Australia was awarded for its ‘Doing More with Less in Dairy’ programme, which helps farmer suppliers in Australia become more profitable through the more efficient use of high impact inputs such as energy, water and fertilisers.
“The project identified average reductions in each farm’s fertiliser-related emissions of 15% and 10% savings for electricity related emissions, generating an annual financial gain of A$10,000 in input costs,” said Fonterra Australia MD Judith Swales.
Fonterra provides cheese and dairy beverages to McDonald’s in many markets, including Australia, NZ and across Asia.
