Our people
Our people are our strength. It’s their energy, drive and passion that grows healthier futures. Not only the future of our consumers, growers and communities, but their own futures too.

We’re creating a workplace where our people thrive. It’s all about care and respect. Their health, safety and wellbeing is paramount, as is knowing that we welcome them for who they are, what they bring and who they want to become.
Here’s how we’re enabling our whānau to shine.

Fairness in our workplace
Nurturing an inclusive and diverse culture is vital. We want our people to be themselves, knowing their gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation and abilities are welcomed. This makes for a better workplace and makes us stronger, more innovative and better able to serve our consumers and communities.
