our commitment
IN HARMONY WITH THE PLANET
WE’RE ON A MISSION TO ENSURE OUR FOODS ARE RAISED WITH THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
New Zealand has the best meat in the world because of passionate farming communities and our natural resources; resources we need to protect and preserve. There are farmers doing exceptional things on their farms to ensure this happens – they’re called Harmony farmers.
When you buy Harmony, you are supporting a more sustainable future for us all.
Earth-friendly Packaging
award-winning, innovative and recyclable
Not to blow our own trumpets, but our packaging is award-winning; innovative, convenient and recyclable.
The tray Harmony meat comes in uses recycled polyester (the equivalent to two 600ml water bottles) and the starch from a corn husk, which is also considered food waste. Once washed, the polyester is recovered and made into new trays. A completely sealed packaging circle.
zero waste
respecting our planet by reducing waste
The more of an animal we can use the better. We aim to utilise every part of the carcass, creating a wide range of cuts and smallgoods. We also send offal, offcuts and secondary cuts to producers of bone broth or pet food to minimise wastage. This also means an animal’s value is fully realised and our farmers are rewarded with higher returns.
supply chain
constantly striving to do better
We are working to make our supply chain as transparent and sustainable as possible. We haven’t got there yet, but we’re making great progress including sending full trucks to the works, employing transportation that is close to our farms to reduce carbon emissions, and working with our processors to ensure they’re as passionate about zero waste and environmentally sustainable work practices as we are.
traceability
proud to share our provenance
Understanding where our food comes from and knowing the people who produce it is demanded now by discerning consumers. Every Harmony pork, beef or lamb cut can be traced back to our farms. Provenance isn’t a buzzword, it’s becoming a reality.
