Leading The Way In NZ Poultry

Powering Protein is where we share the stories behind our success.  The people, knowledge and care that make us poultry experts. From farms to processing sites, labs to leadership, these are the voices driving innovation, shaping our future, and leading the way in how poultry is raised in New Zealand.

Zero Waste Goals in Action

In 2024 Tegel sent 6,305 tonnes of waste to landfill.  A figure that provided a strong case for change. With a goal to halve that number by 2028 and eliminate organic waste to landfill, teams across the business are finding smarter ways to reduce and repurpose waste. Hear from Veronica Shumack, Tegel's Sustainability Program Manager on how this work is coming to life.

Good welfare doesn’t happen by chance, it takes a whole care approach from day one. It's shaped by the people, decisions and standards behind every step, from the moment chicks hatch to the time products leave the site. Hear from our experts on what that looks like in practice.
