Plan Four Zero
At Dawn Meats and Dunbia, we recognise that our future relies upon the health of our natural world and the wellbeing of our communities. Sustainability has been central to our business plan for over 20 years, and we work in partnership with others to reach shared goals. For us, sustainability means taking responsibility for our business impact by ensuring we make a positive contribution to the environment and society.
Providing consistent quality meat products from sustainable sources to support our rural communities, human health and nature’s ecosystem.
Our Plan for a Better Future
Plan Four Zero is our blueprint for building a more sustainable food system, working together for a better future.
Grounded in science, the plan outlines how we will reduce emissions within our operations and across supply chains, protect nature and restore biodiversity, inspire sustainable farming and support communities on the journey to Net Zero.
Our Strategy
Our group-wide plan is governed by Three Values and founded on Four Ambitions, which describe how will we achieve our sustainability commitments and how our actions contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We follow science when setting targets and making decisions and will continue to scale up the right solutions to deliver long term sustainability, helping others along the way.
