NZ’s largest climate polluters revealed

For the fourth year running, Fonterra is New Zealand’s largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions, according to data gathered by the Environmental Protection Authority.
The dairy cooperative made up nearly a fifth of the net emissions reported at the company level under the Emissions Trading Scheme. While agriculture is not required to pay for its emissions via the carbon market, processors do report their annual climate pollution to the Environmental Protection Authority, alongside participants from other sectors.
