Emissions
While the poultry industry contributes to emissions primarily through feed production, manure management, and energy use, chicken is one of the most environmentally efficient animal proteins available. With a significantly lower carbon footprint than beef or lamb, it’s a smarter, more sustainable choice for the future.
We’re working to better understand the areas of our business that contribute to our footprint, and we're collaborating with industry experts to explore opportunities and emerging technologies to help us reach our emissions goals.
Waste
Reducing waste is a key focus of our sustainability efforts. Across our farms, hatcheries, feed mills and processing sites, we’re improving how materials are used, separated and diverted so that less ends up in landfill. In 2024, we set clear goals to divert 50% of landfill waste and eliminate 100% of organic material to landfill by 2028. Since then, teams across the business have been working to identify waste streams and develop practical solutions to reduce, reuse or recycle materials wherever possible.

Packaging
Packaging plays a vital role in protecting our products and ensuring food safety and that will always be our top priority. But we also know packaging contributes to waste, and we’re taking action to minimise our impact. Our goal is for all packaging to be recyclable by 2030. Helping consumers recycle correctly is just as important. That’s why we will include clear disposal instructions on every pack, aligned with the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) guidelines so you know exactly which bin each part of the packaging should go in. Because reducing waste is something we can all do together.
