Fonterra is marked Earth Day with the launch of a carbon zero certified organic butter under its Anchor Dairy brand.

Dubbed the organic carbon zero Certified Butter, it is audited and certified through Toitū Envirocare, which verifies carbon emissions across a product’s life cycle.

The butter is USDA-certified organic, non-GMO, and devoid of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones.

To meet Toit Envirocare's carbon zero certification requirements, Fonterra "calculated the carbon emissions required in the distribution of Anchor butter from farm to consumers' homes, developed a plan to reduce emissions even more, and supported renewable energy projects to offset emissions that could not be reduced," according to the company.

Fonterra’s Americas marketing communication manager, Megan Patterson, said that not only does the new product taste great, but it can help everyday consumers live a more sustainable life.

She added that Fonterra is among the first companies to offer US consumers a carbon zero butter option.
