No-deforestation palm oil in New Zealand Essential table spreads
A significant proportion of the palm oil in New Zealand Supermarket’s own brand products is used in our Essential brand table spreads. We have reformulated this range to use RSPO segregated (no-deforestation) palm oil, launching this year. This allows us to feature the RSPO certified logo on packaging, clearly communicating the sustainability benefits to our customers.
No-deforestation soy in our poultry supply chain
Poultry represents the largest volume of soy in stockfeed within our supply chain, making it a priority for no-deforestation efforts of our suppliers. In F25, we collaborated with our major poultry suppliers and several key suppliers of soymeal to Australia and New Zealand, including Bunge (formerly Viterra). Bunge shares our deforestation-free ambition, and has been securing independently validated deforestation-free soy from Argentina, which will support our no-deforestation goal for poultry, together with a broader range of animal proteins that rely on Bunge’s supply.
