Sustainability The ZESPRI® Way

The kiwifruit Industry has grown with nature for over 100 years, enabling us to deliver premium quality, healthy and nutritious kiwifruit to consumers all around the world.

At the heart of the kiwifruit industry is an ongoing commitment to improvement, innovation and excellence – the cornerstone for ZESPRI’s success now and in the future.

ZESPRI, and the wider kiwifruit industry, has a strong heritage in environmental innovations. Our focus on sustainability cotinues to gain momentum due to increased awareness of the need to nurture the environment – ensuring we look after our greatest resource.

The ZESPRI® System is our end-to-end supply chain; it underpins the quality of ZESPRI® Kiwifruit and demonstrates the thorough process behind growing and delivering our premium fruit.

We work with leading research institutes and partners to continually understand and improve our environmental position. A cross-functional team spanning our industry continues to assess the feasibility of sustainability initiatives and accelerate their implementation across the lifecycle of our fruit.

ZESPRI is committed to growing a better, healthier future.
