The Moving New Zealand Forward: The Business Case for Rail case study series, developed by the Sustainable Business Council in partnership with KiwiRail highlights how businesses across Aotearoa New Zealand are using rail to support lower-emissions freight while delivering wider business benefits.

Silver Fern Farms is New Zealand’s largest livestock processing company, exporting premium grass fed beef, lamb, and venison to markets around the world. In partnership with 16,000 farmers, the company produces around 25% of New Zealand’s total beef, lamb, and venison, operating from 14 processing sites nationwide and employing more than 6,000 people here in NZ and across the globe.
