Our Philosophy

At Synlait Farms we consider all activities in the business fall into one of six strategic pillars. These pillars form the foundations for excellent business performance and guide decisions on where to focus resources. By focusing on these pillars, Synlait Farms avoids distractions and continually improves what we are achieving within the business.

Our management team has technical expertise in each of the six pillar areas. This capability provides Synlait Farms with the ability to continuously enhance productivity by applying leading edge management techniques.

The six pillars are simply referenced as follows:
  • Cows
  • Grass
  • People
  • Profit
  • Environment
  • Innovation
Synlait Farm’s Philosophy:

4. Maximising production on a sustainable basis while keeping costs at a sustainable level.
5. Operating the farms as a business with strong commercial disciplines and prudent decision making.
