About us
Here you’ll find details about Zespri, including our purpose and values, as well as financial information and important updates.
About us
Zespri is 100 percent owned by current and former kiwifruit growers and has a global team of 850 based in Mount Maunganui and throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Our purpose is to help people, communities and the environment thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit, and we work with 2,800 growers in New Zealand and 1,500 growers offshore to provide consumers with fresh, healthy and great-tasting Zespri Green, RubyRed™ and SunGold Kiwifruit.
In 2022/23, we supplied 183.5 million trays of kiwifruit to consumers in more than 50 markets, and recorded global operating revenue of NZ$4.22 billion.
Zespri is committed to sustainability, with areas of improvement identified right through the supply chain, including our pledge that by 2025 we’ll use 100 percent reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging, do more to help the environment, and work with our partners to be carbon positive by 2035.
Our purpose and values
Zespri’s purpose is to help people, communities and the environment around the world thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit. We have three core values that should guide all of us in the way we work together.
We get the job done and support each other to overcome Obstacles. We are not afraid to experiment, fail and learn from our mistakes. We take ownership of our actions and the outcomes, aiming for value creation in everything we do.
We’re a business built on relationships, and we collaborate for positive impact. We care personally, and we’re not afraid to challenge ideas or to show how we can be better ordo differently. We are authentic and seek out and value diverse views.
We seek to understand the world and our place in it. We value and protect our diverse and interdependent community. We work together to create a positive impact for generations to come.
Embracing sustainability together
Sustainability here at Zespri is about helping our growers, communities, the environment and our consumers to thrive.
