Every day we renew our commitment to making a positive difference in every sector of our business, be it by leading the way as founding members of Origin Green or sharing experiences on Kepak Farm on topics ranging from animal nutrition, animal welfare, energy conservation to waste reduction.
Forward together with every step
We believe in a more sustainable future for our farmers, our business and our communities. To get there, we have embraced a holistic strategy
We call it ‘Forward together with every step’.
Leading with cutting edge research and innovation. Rethinking outdated business models. Embracing collaboration and exchange. Making the most of a global community of experts. We are delivering the long term change we need, today.
Moving farming forward
To achieve this, we continually invest in our own R&D farm as a centre for leading industry research and knowledge transfer with our farmers and industry partners. It creates essential space to not only define best-practice agriculture but also encourage its practical implementation.
We also established The Twenty20 Club as part of our mission to future-proof the industry. A first of its kind, it led the industry with a new business model that is more financially and environmentally sustainable, backing more farmers and their families as it grows each year.
Working with over 17,000 Quality Assured beef, lamb and pork producers nationwide, Kepak Ltd are leaders in agricultural sustainability projects.
Advancing farming practices at Kepak
We run regular farming workshops at our Kepak Centre of Excellence Farm with our vet, nutritionist, farm managers and various experts. Shared experiences on animal welfare, sustainability, profitability and livestock breeding are all on offer and we openly invite farmers and aspiring agri-students to join us.
A better future can’t be built alone. It demands collective effort. As our farmers work hard to keep their farms thriving, we are right there with them, supporting them with every step. We focus on sharing practical guidance while also advocating on their behalf with industry and government.
But we also think bigger. We actively participate in global conversations around improving the farming industry and reducing environmental impact, bringing experts together to unlock new solutions that really work fairly and sustainably for all.
Lasting high-impact change
For us, talk isn’t enough. We put our principles into practice. Kepak Ltd have committed to a science-led and industry-backed roadmap that will significantly improve our overall environmental footprint.
With our farmers, we are already moving towards this goal. Working together, we are implementing specific critical actions on farm today, reducing emissions and protecting our natural world for the future. With each step, we deliver the lasting high-impact change our world needs.
