Miles Hurrell, Fonterra CEO, says the report is one of the ways Fonterra is showing where it’s at and where it needs to get to with sustainability.

- 92% of Fonterra’s products are totally electronically traceable
- A recent water recycling innovation at Fonterra’s Pahiatua manufacturing site will save about half a million litres of water a day this season.
