NZMP™ CUSTOMERS TO BENEFIT FROM NEW CARBONZERO CERTIFIED ORGANIC BUTTER

KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 (Bernama) -- NZMP™, Fonterra’s dairy ingredient and solutions brand, has launched a new carbonzero certified Organic Butter, starting in North America.

According to a statement, the new Organic Butter will help NZMP’s customers to achieve their own sustainability goals and meet consumer demand for more sustainable products.

NZMP™ first certified carbonzero ingredient has been audited and verified by Toitū Envirocare, an independent certifier.

Fonterra Sustainability Solutions Senior Manager, Lara Phillips said: “To obtain carbonzero certification for an ingredient, Toitū audits and verifies the carbon emissions for that ingredient across the supply chain.

“We also have to demonstrate how we have reduced our emissions to date, as well as the plan we have in place to reduce our emissions further.

“The final step in the certification is offsetting the verified carbon footprint with high quality carbon credits approved by Toitū, for example from native forest regeneration or renewable energy projects.”

NZMP™ Organic Butter with carbonzero certification is currently available to customers in the USA. Over time, to support customer needs and demand, NZMP™ will look to broaden the portfolio to more product categories and regions.
