Who we are
LIC is a New Zealand dairy farmer-owned co-operative

and leader in pasture-based dairy genetics and herd management.

LIC is headquartered in the Waikato, with over 25 sites across New Zealand,

Australia, UK and Ireland. With origins dating back to 1909, LIC has a long history of

delivering world-leading innovations for the dairy sector. This is even more relevant

to farmers today given the rapid change the sector is undergoing and the growing

climate challenges we’re facing. Who we are and what we do has never been more

important for Kiwi farmers, our sector and New Zealand.

As a farmer-owned co-operative, all of our profit is returned to our farmer

shareholders in dividends or reinvested into new solutions and research and

development (R&D).

LIC shares are listed on the NZX. To be a shareholder in LIC, you have to farm dairy

cows in New Zealand, supply a New Zealand milk processor and buy a minimum

amount of qualifying products and services from LIC every season.

We exist to help

farmers breed for the

future herd now – using

the best tools, insights

and genetics.

Why sustainability
matters to LIC

Sustainability is not only important to us as a business, but also

because of the critical role we play in helping dairy farmers meet their

own sustainability goals.

Our strategy focuses on building stronger herds, smarter tools and a more resilient

future for our shareholders and sector. As a co-op, we understand the role we must

play in driving positive change through collective action on climate change in New

Zealand and supporting our farmer shareholders on the journey. We are committed

to driving sustainability improvements and helping to reduce emissions on-farm,

with projects and initiatives in both these areas underway.

At LIC we believe in supporting our farmers and their herds in reducing biogenic

methane emissions intensity. We have expanded our number of trial animals in

recent years to focus on R&D in this area, as well as improving heat tolerance, on

behalf of the sector. We expect this research to lead to lower methane-emitting

bulls in our bull team, as well as contributing to lower methane emissions intensity in

the national herd.

We support our 8,700 shareholder farmers through genetics, genomics, milk testing

and diagnostics, together with leading research and innovation, to produce the

most sustainable and profitable animals.

New Zealand farmers, our

sector and the New Zealand

Government are focused on a

more sustainable approach to

farming, so we must continue

to improve our environmental

credentials.

Letter from the Chair
& Chief Executive

Herd improvement remains one of the most powerful tools we have

to support dairy farmers to breed stronger herds for a more resilient

future. By breeding better cows, faster, we’re helping farmers adapt

to new challenges, reduce emissions intensity, meet the growing

expectations of consumers, processors, and global markets, and

continue to produce high-quality milk from one of the most efficient

farming systems in the world.

Aotearoa’s pasture-based grazing system has helped make us a global leader in

dairy efficiency. But this unique model also presents challenges that many overseas

producers don’t face, challenges that make LIC’s work more important than ever.

As a generational co-operative, the greatest impact we can have is supporting Kiwi

farmers to breed highly efficient animals that are also well-suited to a changing

climate and aligned with the needs of processors and global markets. The herd

of the future must deliver on productivity and environmental performance, and

our people are already helping farmers breed for that future now, using the best

science, tools, and genetics available.

The strength of our co-op lies in the ability to combine resources to drive leading

research and innovation. By investing in genomics, we’re improving the sustainable

productivity of our national herd and delivering the best cows for today’s farmers,

and for generations to come.

For the year ended 31 May 2025

7

One standout example is our world-leading methane research programme, which
is on track to help dairy farmers breed more climate-friendly cows by next year. Our

trials show that genetic variation affects how much methane is produced by heifers,

and that bulls identified as low emitters pass this trait to their daughters. The next

step is underway to measure emissions from those daughters during their first milking

season and, to support this, we’ve built a state-of-the-art research barn that will

enable large-scale monitoring of lactating cows. If successful, this research will allow

us to produce a methane breeding value, empowering farmers to reduce on-farm

emissions without compromising milk production.

Another long-term commitment we have made is to our heat tolerance breeding and

research programme, which aims to provide New Zealand farmers with the ability

to have high genetic merit dairy cows with improved heat tolerance. As climate

temperatures rise, so too does the impact of heat stress on dairy cows – this affects

not only their welfare but also feed intake and milk production. Trials are underway at

the moment to make sure these genetics will also produce cows that suit our pasture-

based environment and can deliver on milk production.

We are proud to release this report which is part of our commitment to transparency

and accountability, capturing the progress we’re making on our sustainability journey.

Central to this is our commitment to herd improvement - we know the on-farm

efficiencies smart breeding can unlock, and we remain focused on helping farmers

reduce their emissions intensity and future-proof their businesses.

Our strategy
Creating value for our farmer shareholders is at the heart of everything we do. Our people are helping farmers

breed for the future herd now using the best tools, insights and genetics.

Our strategy focuses on building a strong sustainable co-operative, leading the world in our field and delivering outstanding

value for our customers, shareholders and sector, next year, in five years and for another 100 years. During the reporting period

the Board completed a check-in on LIC’s business strategy and clarified the focus on herd improvement, enabling emissions

intensity reduction in the national herd, with five priority areas being focussed on as key enablers of herd improvement: customer

experience, genetics, testing, farm software and international markets.

Environmental Sustainability
The dairy sector needs to continue to evolve, for climate change and because of it. At LIC, we are committed to reducing

the environmental footprint of our business.

The most significant impact we can make is through

helping to reduce the environmental footprint of the

national dairy herd.

Herd improvement is what we do - we provide farmers

with the precision genetics and technology tools they

need to improve their herds and be more sustainable,

while remaining profitable and productive. We’re

amplifying this through genomic science to deliver

results for farmers at a faster rate.

The results some farmers are achieving show that, if

we sharpen our focus on herd improvement, we can

reduce intensity of emissions and continue to have

the world’s most efficient dairy herd. High producing,

climate-friendly cows aren’t just a hope for the future

- they exist in the national herd today and are well

within reach for every dairy farmer. We simply need

more of them and our products and services provide

farmers with an opportunity to do just that.

Key Metrics

By assessing genetic data, our models estimate that

over the past 30 years the genetic improvement in our

Premier Sires

®

semen delivered on-farm has resulted

in an 11% reduction in enteric methane and 14% less

urinary nitrogen emission intensity per kilogram of

milksolids produced, noting that the size of the dairy

herd increased 72% during that period (1994 to 2024

increase - New Zealand Dairy 2023/24 Statistics

report), which increased absolute methane emissions

of the national herd.

The increased rate of genetic improvement in

production and fertility traits without any increase

in animal liveweight, and the shorter generation

interval that genomic selection enables, has created

a consistent trend of New Zealand farmers breeding

more emissions efficient cows and, year-on-year,

they’re doing it faster.

New Zealand dairy farmers continue to embrace

a range of tools to improve herd sustainability and

productivity. The New Zealand Dairy Statistics report

2023/24, produced by LIC and DairyNZ, shows that

over 77% of cows were herd tested and this is one

of a number of tools that farmers are using to help

improve milk quality and production. The percentage

of cows artificially inseminated decreased slightly to

81.1% from 81.5% in the previous season. This reflects

a continued trend of New Zealand farmers remaining

focused on improving the production efficiency of

their herds and utilising data and insights to support

on-farm decisions.

Cow numbers slightly increased in 2023/24 by

0.6% and there was a 0.5% increase in kilograms

of milksolids processed compared to the

previous season.

LIC Sustainability Report

10

The weighted average of the Premier Sires team for the 2023/24 season showed
a slight decrease in both urinary nitrogen and methane per kg of milksolids below

the 30-year trend. This is a result of genomic selection and the use of the Forward

Pack product by farmers which continues to drive the rate of genetic gain and

subsequently methane and nitrogen efficiency.

Enteric methane

Enteric methane from ruminant livestock is the main greenhouse gas emission

produced in pastoral dairy farming. LIC, using our genetic data, has been able to

model the predicted enteric methane emissions relative to miksolids production for

the lifetime of the female progeny of the Premier Sires teams.

Reducing the emissions footprint of our national herd
We’re helping farmers breed better cows and get the best

from them.

As part of our commitment to faster genetic gain, our team of scientists has

investigated the full spectrum of MINDA

®

herds in search of the ‘best cows’ and

whether a clear correlation existed between genomic Breeding Worth (gBW) and

milk production efficiency.

All cows aren’t created equal.

The research reaffirms that the best cows (with high gBW) are more efficient at

turning feed into milk – they produce more, have a fertility advantage and are

more emissions efficient. If we’re going to help our sector meet its environmental

goals, New Zealand farmers must breed more of those highly efficient cows that sit

at the top, and fewer of those who sit at the bottom.

We don’t need more cows – we need better cows.

At an individual farm level there can be many variable factors, but it is conceivable

that by 2030 a farmer’s whole herd could be performing at the level of their top

25% cows today. The goal is to maintain total milk production from fewer cows,

therefore reducing on-farm emissions intensity.

Breeding better cows, faster, is the key to helping farmers solve the challenge of

being profitable and sustainable. We’ve made good progress over the years but, to

continue on this trajectory, we need to sharpen our focus.

Long term users of LIC genetics are already doing this – they’ve

doubled the speed of improvement in their herds over the last

decade. They’re breeding better cows faster, and genomics is the

key contributor.

Over more than 30 years we have invested significantly in genomics and, alongside

farmers’ herd management decisions, it has played a key role in the faster rates of

genetic improvement we’ve seen.

The increased utilisation of genomics in our breeding programme and increased

farmer uptake of young genomically selected sires has gone hand-in-hand with

higher rates of increased genetic gain in farmers’ herds.

Genomic records, ancestry information and technology allow us to accurately

identify elite bulls at a young age so we can start using those animals to breed the

next generation of cows sooner. The use of genomics in our breeding programme

means we can reduce the generation interval from five years to two.

Farmers are making the switch to high gBW genomic bulls for the value that they

deliver on farm. Genomic sires feature in our premium artificial breeding offerings,

including the Premier Sires

®

Forward Pack, A2/A2, Alpha

®

and liquid sexed

semen. During the 2024/25 year, 89.5% of fresh semen straws used for breeding

replacements were from our premium bull teams, up from 79.5% the year prior.

Long-term users of LIC genetics are ahead of the pack and moving at pace to

increase the speed of improvement in their herds.

Key updates and refinements to our herd improvement toolbox
1. Enhancing our GeneMark

®


DNA testing service

GeneMark

®

Genomics

LIC has combined its DNA parentage testing and

genomic evaluation services into one service to help

farmers identify their highest genetic merit animals

to improve their herd. Every eligible sample for female

animals sent to LIC’s GeneMark

®

lab receives parent

verification as well as a confirmed genomic evaluation

(GEv). By offering parentage verification and genomic

evaluation in one service, farmers can take the

guesswork out of matching calves to their parents for

added precision in their breeding programme, while

also receiving data to assist in selecting the highest

genetic merit animals to join their milking herd. The

significant number of genotypes that will be collected

through the use of this product will also enable the

selection of the best genomic heifers as bull dams to

drive approximately 9% improvement in the rate of

genetic gain (equating to a reduction of 1.4 years in

the cow-to-bull pathway). In November 2024 we hit a

significant milestone of genotyping our one millionth

dairy animal.

Identify calves with genetic variants

During the course of a five-year research programme,

LIC scientists discovered multiple genetic variants

that impact animal health to the tune of up to $10

million in lost production each year across the

national dairy herd. Animals that are tested through

GeneMark

®

are automatically screened for variants

that have the most impact, free of charge, and

farmers are informed of any affected animals in their

herd. Our research scientists are continuing with a

programme of work focused on identifying further

variants to continue to improve the information

available to farmers so that they are able to rear the

healthiest, higher performing animals.

2. Animal health testing

Johne’s disease is a contagious infection estimated

to cost New Zealand more than $40 million in lost

production each year. It is caused by a bacterium

which infects the gut of dairy cows and other

ruminant animals. Common side effects include lower

milk production, difficulty reproducing and rapid

weight loss.

This disease is common in dairy cows, but it can be

difficult to detect. LIC provides individual animal

testing for Johne’s disease; in the year ended 31 May

2025 testing increased by 30% to a record level of

nearly 1.66 million tests.

This year we have produced 539 Johne’s Disease

trend dashboards for 35 vet clinics. We have surveyed

users about their experience and received results from

approximately half of them. The feedback will be used

to continue to improve the dashboard.

LIC Sustainability Report

14

In addition, LIC has conducted analysis of data
collected over the last ten years from 2,700 dairy

herds over 16 regions to identify risk factors and

associations. Results from this analysis will offer

valuable insights for disease management and were

published in June 2024.

Mastitis

Mastitis is a common disease that affects a cow’s udder

health and milk quality. According to DairyNZ, the cost

of mastitis across the New Zealand dairy sector has

been estimated at approximately $180 million per year.

In August 2025 we introduced a new and improved test

to help our farmers better detect mastitis in their herd.

The Mastitis Multiplex test uses herd test milk samples

to detect the three most common mastitis causing

bacteria and provides an indication of potential

resistance to penicillin antibiotics. This information

is critical in helping our farmers make more informed

decisions and to improve the productivity of their herd.

The new test will provide farmers with more information

and greater accuracy at a lower cost.

3. Sexed semen

We have a state-of-the-art laboratory solely

dedicated to the production of sexed semen, which

sits alongside our bull farm and semen processing lab.

Our fresh sexed semen is accelerating genetic gain

within our dairy herds by enabling farmers to get

more high-quality replacement heifer calves from top

performing cows. We are the only provider of fresh

sexed semen in New Zealand, which delivers a higher

conception rate than frozen sexed semen options. A

resulting pregnancy has approximately a 90% chance

of producing a heifer, providing more high genetic

merit heifer calves to enable the best to be selected

and be part of the next generation of our national

dairy herd.

The expected range of non-return rate performance

for sexed semen is less than 5% below conventional

fresh semen non-return rate performance. The

actual result for this season was only 0.57% below

conventional fresh semen, which was a significant

improvement on 3.3% below last season.

Our R&D investment and focus on innovation is helping
Kiwi dairy farmers retain their position as the most

efficient milk producers in the world, playing a critical

role in helping the sector meet its climate targets. We

are one of the largest investors in R&D in the primary

sector. In the reporting period we invested $22.5 million,

the equivalent of 7.6% of revenue.

Looking to the future

We invest in the areas where we have unique capability to

maximise the value our farmer shareholders generate from

their livestock and their product, taking innovations from lab

to paddock.

LIC Sustainability Report

Our methane research programme has confirmed
that bulls’ genetics play a role in how much methane

they emit, highlighting the potential for farmers to

breed low methane-emitting cows in the future.

In its first year the programme, backed by the New

Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research

Centre and partnering with CRV, measured the feed

intake and methane emissions from 281 young bulls

set to father the next generation of New Zealand’s

dairy cows. We found there is genetic variation in the

amount of methane emitted after accounting for the

feed eaten by the bulls, with the lowest bulls emitting

around 15-20% less methane than the average. The

second year of the research measured methane

emissions from approximately 300 young bulls from

LIC’s 2022 Sire Proving Scheme and CRV’s 2022

Progeny Scheme.

In collaboration with Pāmu, we are breeding from bulls

that we have identified to be high or low methane

emitters. In 2024, we measured the emissions of

398 daughters at our methane measuring facilities

on our Tauwhare farm. The results confirmed

that the methane emissions of the daughters are

representative of their fathers. The next step is to

measure the emissions of the daughters again during

their first milking season to ensure the variation

remains during lactation. The methane daughters will

calve for the first time in July 2025.

Measuring methane emissions and feed intake during

lactation will identify whether measuring emissions

from a growing bull and/or heifer accurately predicts

the methane breeding value of a lactating cow. We

will also be measuring standard measurements such

as growth rates, reproductive performance and

milk production.

To enable this research to be completed we have

invested in a new purpose-built barn at LIC’s

Innovation Farm. In addition, we are evaluating

alternative measurement methods such as the use

of a Portable Accumulation Chamber to allow the

screening of large numbers of heifers and/or cows

in future.

LIC is conducting a seven-year breeding programme
assessing the impact of the ‘slick’ gene in cattle,

which produces a short hair coat and improves

heat tolerance. Heat stress has significant welfare

implications for animals. Dairy cows are especially

susceptible to heat stress due to their high metabolic

heat load associated with the demands of lactation.

For dairy cows it also impacts feed intake, milk

production, fertility and calf birthweight.

The pilot trial found cows with the slick gene had

lower rumen temperatures (0.5-1.0°C) compared to

their non-slick counterparts when the Temperature

Humidity Index exceeds 73 (around an ambient

temperature of 26°C and a humidity of 60%).

Furthermore, no significant differences in rumen

temperatures have been observed between the two

groups during the New Zealand winter months.

The aim of the breeding programme is to provide

New Zealand farmers the opportunity to have high

genetic merit dairy cows with improved heat tolerance

by 2029. Before we offer heat tolerant genetics to

farmers, we want to make sure cows that have the

‘slick’ coat also have the high genetic merit and milk

production expected of New Zealand dairy cows.

We are using genomic technology to speed up the

breeding programme as we can screen an animal’s

DNA at birth to determine whether it possesses the

slick gene.

The current step in the breeding programme is

to mate slick genetics with elite cows on selected

commercial farms in New Zealand. This step will

significantly increase the rate of genetic improvement

of animals with slick genetics, while increasing the

number of slick animals on the ground and the

diversity in LIC’s breeding programme. The trial work

remains ongoing to ensure that, when these genetics

are released to New Zealand farmers, LIC has a robust

understanding of the performance of the slick gene

and its potential to improve the welfare of our dairy

cows in the future. If progress continues as expected,

in 2029 farmers will be able to breed from high genetic

merit slick KiwiCross

®

sires, with the resulting offspring

having a significant improvement in animal welfare

and milk production under heat stress.

Increasing heat tolerance in cows

In December 2024, LIC announced an innovative

collaboration with Pāmu Farms aimed at transforming

the dairy-beef sector.

Both organisations, together with Pāmu subsidiary

Focus Genetics, have begun working together on

a new beef breeding programme. With a shared

commitment to enhancing sustainability and

profitability across the dairy sector, the partnership

leverages decades of genetics research and

practical experience to meet the evolving challenges

faced by dairy farmers, calf rearers, beef finishers

and processors.

The dairy beef breed has been developed with key

factors including short gestation, ease of calving,

good growth rates, and excellent eating quality,

as well as lower methane. The dairy beef breeding

animals will continue to be tested the entire way

through the beef value chain from calf rearing

to processing, ensuring the right genetics for

performance, profitability and sustainability are as

thoroughly evaluated as possible, with the product

expected to be available from spring 2026.

By combining Pāmu expertise in farming innovation

with LIC’s leadership in genetics, the collaboration

aims to support a commercially viable and

environmentally sustainable dairy-beef sector.

LIC has also invested in a ‘KiwiPrime’ breeding

programme over a number of years to develop an

Angus-Hereford cross dairy-beef option that is

expected to be available from 2027.

We continue to lead the ‘Resilient Dairy’ research
programme, with investment and support from MPI

and DairyNZ. The seven-year Sustainable Food and

Fibre Futures programme was launched in June 2019

and is coming to an end.

This programme has involved investing in new disease

management technologies and advancements

in genomic science to produce better cows with

improved health, wellbeing and environmental

resilience. We continue to use our genomics

sequencing technology to find genetic strands

and discover which cows have particular viruses

or bacteria.

Milkomics™

The Milkomics

TM

workstream has identified and

quantified a significant number of species in milk,

including bacteria, viruses, protozoans and fungi. Our

team has produced a reporting format that allows us

to report on twelve mastitis causing organisms and

their presence, absence and quantity (cells/ml) in bulk

milk. We are also able to provide graphs to show how

individual farms compare at the individual farm level

and at a regional scale. We have enough baseline

data to establish national baselines for the species

present and can produce individual farm reports.

Knowing what microbes and viruses are present within

the herd and at what level means that pathogens can

be dealt with in a timely and appropriate fashion. By

comparing the qualitative and quantitative profile

of targeted pathogens with profiles obtained from

a national, regional and/or farm level it should be

possible to identify potentially problematic microbes

and viruses and establish a plan to eradicate these

from the herd if appropriate.

Facial eczema

Facial eczema is a disease caused by the ingestion of

toxic spores of a fungus that grows on pastures in New

Zealand. The fungus prefers warm, moist conditions

and is seen mostly in the North Island, typically over

the summer and autumn. The disease causes liver

damage, in the worst cases affected animals die. The

challenge in collecting facial eczema phenotypes is

the incidence varies from season to season. Herds

can be impacted one year and not impacted again

for several years. However, climate change is likely to

increase the presence of the fungus.

A milk biomarker test has been a breakthrough in the

collection of phenotypes. The test has been validated

and used to investigate the genetic susceptibility of

facial eczema and the biomarker has been used to

identify herds with liver damage via blood sample.

Over 10,000 individual cows have been blood sampled

over the past 3 years and testing has confirmed we

can measure genetic variation in facial eczema,

with around 23% estimated due to genetics. LIC has

developed the facial eczema breeding value (FE) to

enable farmers to breed cows that are more resistant

to the disease. This year we sampled another

approximately 5,000 animals, which has improved the

reliability of the breeding value.

Reducing the environmental
footprint of our business

LIC is a Climate Reporting Entity and we have published our

second Climate Statements for the year ended 31 May 2025. LIC

has adopted certain exemptions available for the second year of

reporting and this Sustainability Report has been prepared on the

same basis for consistency.

Our focus has been on accurately reporting the emissions directly associated

with our operations and activities, as well as those emissions that occur

upstream and downstream of our value chain where we have significant

influence. As a result, LIC has adopted the exemption provision available under

NZ Climate Standard 2 in relation to not reporting Scope 3 emissions calculated

to ensure we can fully report our Scope 3 emissions once we have materially

established our full value chain.

We have published GHG emissions reduction targets, sustainability is built into

our purchasing and investment decisions and we are working with suppliers to

reduce their emissions.

GHG emissions reduction targets

LIC previously set GHG emissions reduction targets based on methodologies

using SBTi (Science Based Target initiatives) tools and guided by the biogenic

methane emissions reduction target in the Climate Change Response Act

2002, with the intention of reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

and contributing proportionately to the efforts to limit the global average

temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

During the reporting period, LIC’s GHG emissions absolute reduction targets

were reviewed by management and approved by the Board.

While we have been working hard on reducing emissions, the targets previously

set were not achievable given challenges with sufficient novel technology

not being available to achieve the targeted emissions reduction. Our original

targets were based on the assumption that certain novel technologies would

become available in the short to medium term and would be cost-effective,

enabling LIC to reduce its emissions. However, these technologies are now

unlikely to be available within the necessary timeframe or timing and cost of

availability is uncertain.

The previous targets set also did not reflect the measures required in order to

proceed with LIC’s unique opportunity to assist the New Zealand dairy sector

to reduce methane emissions intensity through genetic improvement R&D. This

opportunity has resulted in LIC increasing our trial animals and, accordingly,

our Scope 1 biogenic emissions for a period to conduct R&D. This is done to

help drive long-term reduction in methane emissions intensity for the New

Zealand dairy sector. LIC may also potentially need to hold a higher level of

bulls over time if there is a significant reduction in natural mating bulls across

the dairy sector, which could result in higher emissions for LIC but a lower level

of methane emissions across the dairy sector through breeding for lower-

emitting cows.

LIC Sustainability Report

20

The updated targets apply for the entire current reporting period, do not include any assumption for offsetting of emissions and,
although SBTi methodology has been considered, have not been accredited by SBTi.

LIC considers that we will contribute proportionately to the efforts to limit

the global average temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels

collectively through:

• LIC’s own GHG emissions absolute reduction targets, which have been

calculated to the extent currently achievable based on adjustments to SBTi

methodology for Scope 1 and 2; and

• LIC’s contribution to reducing methane emissions intensity in the national dairy

herd through assisting dairy farmers and supporting milk processors to breed

for the future herd now, using the best tools, insights and genetics, including

breeding for lower methane emitting bulls and cows and reducing the demand

for natural mating bulls.

Note that LIC has not sought third party verification or opinion in relation to the

above statement and is not relying on carbon offsets to contribute proportionately.

The previous target was recalculated to 2035 using SBTi methodology* (resulting in

67.2%), then adjusted to exclude reductions we had assumed would be achievable

based on the development of novel technology, because it is too uncertain as to

whether such technology will be feasible or cost-effective (e.g. hydrogen fuel in rural

areas) to enable LIC to achieve the previous target.

The previous target was recalculated to 2035 using SBTi methodology* (resulting in

67.2%), then adjusted to exclude reductions we had assumed would be achievable

through installing solar panels on leased properties, because it is too uncertain

whether lease-owners will do this. Although not factored into the new target, we also

note that year-to-year LIC’s Scope 2 emissions could be subject to volatility related to

the energy emissions factor.

The previous target was based on NZ Government target, section 5Q(1)(b)(i) Climate

may need to hold additional animals to support reduction of emissions across the NZ

dairy herd.

*SBTi methodology has been used as a key input to the basis for our determination of targets contributing to limiting global warming to 1.5°C as it provides a

framework for setting emissions reduction targets aligned with climate science and the aim of limiting warming to 1.5°C above industrial levels

Fuel emissions continue to decline with petrol emissions
having a 33.0% reduction from base year and diesel

reducing by 19.9%. LIC diesel emissions decreased by 5.1%

from the previous reporting year as LIC transitions to hybrid

utes, however this is likely to stagnate until viable vehicle

alternatives are available to reduce our light truck diesel

emissions. Petrol emissions increased from the previous year

by 12.7% primarily related to the change to hybrid utes, but

overall emissions from fuel have decreased year-on-year.

Total Scope 1 agricultural biogenic emissions decreased by 5.9% from base year in the 2024/25

reporting year due to decreased stock numbers, primarily related to reduced animals in LIC trials across

NZ that are not on LIC farms.

Initiatives we have underway or planned for 2025/26 to help reduce our emissions are outlined in the

table below:

ObjectiveActions

What we’re doing to improve
business sustainability

Environmental Management System

We have an Environmental Management System as a framework to manage

our environmental impacts. This includes an Environmental and Sustainability

Management Committee, which has representatives from each business unit. The

committee reviews the environmental aspects and the inherent and residual risk of

all activities, products and services of our business and suppliers and contractors,

and evaluates current/suggested controls to avoid, mitigate or remedy any adverse

effects of each aspect. The members of the committee maintain LIC’s Environmental

Aspects Register for each area of the business.

Strategy Documents

There is an Environment and Sustainability Strategy in place covering the period

2024-2027. The strategy encompasses waste reduction, greenhouse gas inventory

improvements, transition planning, energy initiatives, and the integration of Te Ao

Māori Principles for environmental sustainability, along with work in the biodiversity

space, and sustainable transport solutions.

The Energy Strategy for 2024-2030 is an in-depth companion to the Environment and

Sustainability Strategy and is based on a ‘record, replace, reduce’ framework to help

LIC transition to cleaner energy sources.

During the period LIC has also put a Transition Plan in place to help us adapt,

mitigate and prioritise our actions in the short, medium, and long term to reduce our

GHG emissions, respond to our risks and opportunities, and contribute to a thriving

sector-wide transition.

Energy audit

In August 2024, LIC had an external provider carry out an energy audit at the

Newstead site. The aim was to review site energy consumption and identify areas

for energy reduction. The audit identified actions that can be taken, and the

Environment Team are working through the recommendations.

To assist in compiling GHG data we use Toitū Envirocare’s external carbon

calculator. Our full GHG Inventory Report is reviewed by members of LIC’s Senior

Leadership Team, and we engaged KPMG to undertake limited assurance over

Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions disclosed in our 2024/25 Climate Statements for the

2024/25 emissions data only. KPMG’s limited assurance conclusion is available in

LIC’s 2024/25 Climate Statements.

We are not currently utilising carbon credit offsetting. The Board will review our

position on offsetting over time as our emission calculations continue to mature.

LIC’s farms would also likely be impacted if an agriculture farm-level emissions

pricing scheme is introduced in future.

Solar panels
LIC has a target of reducing its Scope 2 GHG emissions from electrical power usage

by 46.2% by 2035. Rooftop solar power panels are in place at Innovation Farm,

Mystery Creek Warehouse, and our Newstead head office has more than 480 solar

panels. The Newstead panels are performing as expected (to produce over 1,500

kilowatt hours per day in summer and half that in winter) and solar production

exceeded our imported energy needs for the first time in November 2024. Excess

clean energy generated has been sold back into the grid during the reporting

period, equivalent to 8 tonnes of CO

2

. It is conservatively estimated that our grid

usage will be reduced by approximately 20% and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 13%

because of solar panels. Further to the environmental benefits, solar power can

potentially provide added resilience to the organisation’s power supply, with an

additional power source to electricity through the grid. In future, we will consider

where we can introduce battery capability and solar panels across other LIC sites,

in particular adding panels to another building at Newstead.

Vehicles

To help reach our targets we are transitioning our fossil fuel company cars to

include options of EV and hybrid models, with the current fleet including 14% EVs

and 31% hybrid vehicles. Vehicle tracking is also in place to enable

vehicle efficiency.

We have 69 EV chargers installed, including 34 home chargers for employees with

company vehicles and 1 super-fast (60kw/hour) charger at our Head Office in

Waikato. Staff with personal EVs are able to charge their vehicles on site at no cost

to them with the aim of encouraging staff to select an EV when purchasing a new

car. We have upgraded the power infrastructure at head office, which will allow for

an additional 26 chargers to be installed as demand increases. We have plans to

add a further seven chargers in the near future.

Travel

Employees have flexible working options, with the benefit of reduced emissions

from commuting.

Farms

We have an ongoing programme of investment to continue to upgrade our waste

management infrastructure across our farms, as well as shade planting for animal

welfare and riparian planting to lessen the impact of our farming activities on the

environment. Each LIC farm has its own individual environmental management

plan and employees are trained to ensure compliance. The Farm Environment

Plans cover aspects such as soil type, stocking rates/policy, riparian plantings,

waterways, flood risks, effluent, pasture renewal/cropping, fertiliser use and GHG

emissions. They are comprehensive documents that review our whole farm system

and identify areas for improvement in terms of environmental performance. We

have set timelines for implementing the improvements we have identified.

We have policies relating to animal welfare and all animals entrusted to our care

are treated with respect in accordance with the Dairy Cattle Code of Welfare

31/10/2019 (a Code of Welfare issued under the Animal Welfare Act 1999).

We also use fencing to keep our animals away from waterways and sensitive areas

on our farms.

We are working, in partnership with Lincoln University and Ravensdown, on

an effluent treatment system trial at Innovation Farm. The trial uses a dosing

system and is expected to reduce up to 99% of methane emissions derived from

microorganisms in the effluent pond. The system is expected to reduce water

pollution and GHG emissions and could also serve as an educational resource for

our staff and visitors, showcasing the benefits of responsible water management.

On LIC farms we also generate and recycle waste oil from our equipment.

Water management

We have consents to discharge trade-waste from operations at Riverlea in the

Waikato and in Christchurch and have a consent to discharge to land from the

wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) at head office. The WWTP uses anaerobic

reticulation to treat waste before being fed through a wetland filtration system and

finally discharging to land. We also have several bore water wells on farm.

For the year ended 31 May 2025

25

We have been working with Christchurch council for some time and in June 2024
completed an upgrade of the trade-waste treatment facilities in Christchurch to

replace the single grease trap with two in a series. The council have recognised

that, despite our efforts, we have been unable to meet the existing target and

they have increased our limit. We have also applied for an increase to our limit

in Waikato.

Waste management

We recycle farm materials such as silage wrap and plastic drums and are seeking

new ways to reduce water and energy use across all our sites. E-waste items, such

as obsolete laptops and phones, are sold where possible or recycled.

Our animal health laboratory at Riverlea in Hamilton receives numerous polystyrene

cool store boxes and we have a recycling process to manage this waste. We also

allow LIC staff to bring in clean polystyrene from their homes to recycle at work.

In 2024/25 we diverted 70.8 m

3

of polystyrene from landfill, recycled through an

external company.

We began a food waste recovery system in our onsite cafeteria at Newstead and

have diverted over nine tonnes of food waste from landfill since July 2023 through

a local worm farm in the Waikato. We implemented food scraps recovery at the

Riverlea site in July 2024 and have diverted 640 litres since collection began. We

are in the process of implementing food waste recovery at our other sites as part of

our waste standardisation project.

LIC allows staff to bring in soft plastics for recycling from home as well as recycle all

viable soft plastics from our processes. In 2024/25 we recycled approximately 2.3

tonnes of soft plastics.

Our Herd Test field teams use rubber hoses during their operations. The rubber

hoses require replacement and rather than send them to landfill we have found

external parties who will recycle the rubber into items such as rubber matting.

Our Australian subsidiary, Beacon Automation Pty Ltd, produces heat patches

and is working on identifying options to recycle plastic waste from the production

process and produce products that could be more environmentally friendly.

They have also calibrated their machinery so that they need less raw material

to produce their products and in turn reduce the volume of scrap waste to

landfill through the production process. This change has reduced waste by

approximately 3%.

Waste left on farm

When AB services are performed on farm, our technicians generally leave materials

that have been used during the process, such as gloves and wipes. A lot of these

products are hard to recycle due to a range of factors, such as contamination with

biological material, but we are able to recycle some of the single use plastics that

are not in direct contact with contaminants. We recycle the single use, soft plastic

sheath bags that are used on farm to carry loaded inseminators to prevent cross

contamination and identify breeds clearly. Since 2024, we have diverted 1.4 tonne

of soft plastics that would have been left on farm to Future Post to contribute to the

manufacturing of their fence posts.

Where we perform services on farm that collect biological material, such as herd

testing, strict processes are followed to minimise the chance of any transfer of

disease between farms.

To minimise the risk of disease transferral:

• Our AB Technicians ensure that boots are cleaned and disinfected on entering

a farm, use single-use gloves that cover up shoulder and chest area, single-use

disposable sheaths and isopropyl wipes to clean equipment between farms

• An additional antibiotic is added to semen diluent that targets M.bovis; and

• New young bulls are quarantined from existing bulls for a period of time, bulls

used for international markets are quarantined and tested as required under

regulations and double-fencing is used to separate individual bulls in the core

bull team, as well as daily monitoring for any health concerns.

Social sustainability –
caring for our people

We are focused on fostering a culture that embraces

change, builds capabilities, encourages people and

ultimately drives results to deliver greater customer

value. We invest in our people to develop their

talent and ensure they are in a positive and safe

working environment.

Alongside our full-time employees, in peak season

we also employ close to 1,350 seasonal employees

in the Artificial Breeding (AB) area and around 350

other seasonal or casual workers throughout the

year to help in other areas of the business, such as

herd testing. Each year, our qualified AB technicians

visit farms in their local area, artificially inseminating

millions of cows, with the peak season being from

September to December.

For LIC social sustainability is all about

caring for our people, ensuring that they

have the tools and support they need to

continue to deliver value to our farmer

shareholders.

Governance
Structure

Our governance structure includes a Board

of Directors, Shareholder Reference Group,

and Senior Leadership Team. These groups

all contribute to driving value for our farmer

shareholders.

Board of Directors

Our Board is responsible for the overall governance of

LIC on behalf of our farmer shareholders to improve

the prosperity and productivity of our customers.

LIC Directors set the vision and long-term goals

of the co-operative. This includes the strategy to

achieve that vision, as well as the monitoring of its

implementation. Information on sub-committees of

the Board is available in the governance section of

LIC’s annual report.

The Board must be comprised of at least six elected

farmer directors, balanced between the North and

South Islands, and up to four independent directors to

allow specialist expertise to be added when needed.

At the annual meeting in September 2024 Elected

Directors Matt Ross and Dr Alison Watters stepped

down and Appointed Director Candace Kinser retired.

Mike O’Connor was elected as Elected Director for

the North Island and Tony Coltman was elected as

Elected Director for South Island.

In January 2025 LIC announced a new Appointed

Director, Hamish Rumbold.

Elected Director Ben Dickie has advised that he is not

seeking re-election at the end of his current term, as

well as Appointed Director Tim Gibson.

In July 2025 another new Appointed Director was

announced, Blair O’Keeffe, to replace Tim Gibson.

Shareholder Reference Group
Our Shareholder Reference Group is an independent body of shareholders

who work collaboratively with our Board and management. The group serves

to promote the interests of shareholders and help us deliver on our purpose

and vision.

The Shareholder Reference Group is solely comprised of farmer shareholders. It is

made up of twelve members across four territories. Eight members are elected by

shareholders and four are appointed by the existing members of the Shareholder

Reference Group to ensure diversity and a broad range of skills in the Group.

Senior Leadership Team

Our SLT is tasked with working alongside the Board to develop and implement

our short and long-term strategy and to establish the key metrics that we will be

measured against, so that we know we are delivering on the commitments made

to shareholders. In May 2025, Emma Blott (GM Commercial) left the business and,

following a restructure of the business unit, Paul Dunbar was appointed as GM

Caring for our people
Wellness

Through our ‘Well Aware’ programme, now in its fifth

year, we continue to prioritise holistic wellbeing by

providing meaningful support and resources across

the key pillars of well body, well mind and well life.

The Well Aware Hub on the LIC intranet continues to

serve as a central access point for staff seeking tools,

information and support around wellbeing.

A ‘Mental Wellbeing at Work’ workshop is part of

the induction process for new employees, as well as

being available to all employees. It is designed to

specifically ensure our employees thrive within a work

environment through an introduction to our holistic

approach to wellbeing and connection to support

services. Additional sessions are also delivered to

the Customer Experience team as part of ongoing

wellbeing development. ‘Supporting Employee

Mental Health’ workshops are provided for people

leaders within their first three months. A ‘Building

Resilience’ workshop has also been added to

introduce the concept of resilience and provides

practical tools, strategies and resources to help

staff navigate challenges.

Throughout the year, Well Aware has hosted guest

speakers to engage, educate and inspire staff. Topics

delivered this year include:

• Coping Skills to support wellbeing

• Positive Aging: Reframing Midlife, Menopause

and Beyond

• An insight into Rural Support

Well Aware maintains a strong presence through

targeted internal communications and aligning with

key national wellbeing events such as:

• Mental Health Awareness Week – this year’s

theme was ‘Community’ which was promoted with

resources from the Mental Health Foundation

to encourage a stronger sense of connection

and support

• Men’s Health Week – employees were encouraged

to assess their health and to encourage men in

their lives to do the same

We continue to partner with EAP services who

provide free, confidential counselling support to all

LIC staff and their immediate families. In addition

to counselling, EAP has expanded its services to

include free coaching and support in key lifestyle

areas, such as fitness and exercise; sleep and fatigue

management; smoking/vaping cessation; and

cardiovascular and heart health.

Organisational Health

In partnership with Microsoft, our ‘BeHerd’ platform

hosts a range of employee journey surveys including

onboarding, engagement, pulse surveys and exit

surveys. BeHerd allows us as an organisation

to understand the experiences, sentiments and

our needs as employees. Our vision is to have a

meaningful and inclusive way of hearing our people,

empowering our leaders and driving change. Our

aim is to gain deeper insights into our employee’s

experiences and further enhance the workplace

environment at LIC.

All employees are surveyed at least once if not twice

in a year. Business areas can compare their results

to the company benchmark or a global benchmark

(including top quartile). There are 47 questions

in the main LIC survey and the responses and

accompanying comments provide excellent insights.

For each survey across LIC, we acknowledge the

results, collaborate and take action.

We have high response rates of more than 80% from

our employees, with over 700 individuals participating

in the May 2025 survey to permanent employees. The

result was 75 out of 100 in engagement (up 1 from 74

in May 2024), which is based on two key questions:

‘How happy are you working at LIC’ and ‘I would

recommend LIC as a great place to work’.

In December 2024, we launched a specific survey for

our employees that work at LIC in a seasonal/casual

or fixed term role. We had a 53% response rate with

an engagement score of 83. We also specifically

surveyed our AB Technicians, with a 50% response

rate and an engagement score of 91.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Given the size and nature of our business we have

a diverse workforce. To continue recognising

diversity in the workplace and creating an inclusive

environment, we have a staff-led Diversity, Equity and

Inclusion Committee to champion these concepts.

LIC’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Committee

is committed to fostering a workplace culture that

embraces and champions diversity, equity, and

inclusion. A regular DEI newsletter highlights cultural

and international events and celebrations, and

provides information on topics relating to diversity,

equity and inclusion.

In 2024, the committee progressed a number

of initiatives:

• Te Ao Māori Strategy: An implementation plan was

drafted and a subcommittee was proposed to drive

progress. However, this was placed on hold at the

end of 2024 pending leadership confirmation of

its priority.

• Preliminary Analysis: Exploratory work began

on several potential focus areas for 2025 —

Family & Caregiving, Staff Survey insights, and

Neurodiversity Support.

• Women in Leadership: The group focused on

networking and connection opportunities as well

as the recommunication of existing development

opportunities offered by the People & Performance

(P&P) team, such as mentoring.

• Cultural Celebration: A world map has been

installed at Newstead to highlight and celebrate

the diverse cultures represented within LIC. Staff

have been engaging by placing pins on the map to

share their cultural heritage.

• Neurodiversity: Neurodiversity refers to individuals

with dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD and

other specific conditions that impact the way that

people learn and work. An external provider was

engaged to facilitate a ‘Knowledge Share’ to raise

awareness of the importance of understanding

and empowering people to harness the power of

their brains.

The Committee will investigate further options on how

our culture can enable staff to perform at their fullest

potential, and how People Leaders can help create

inclusive team environments.

The latest BeHerd employee survey collected

demographic statistics, which will be again used

to identify areas where further objectives could

be focused.

Engagement with Te Uru Tāngata (previously

Diversity Works NZ) is ongoing and our membership

of this organisation allows access to a wide range

of resources.

Health & Safety (H&S)
The health and safety of our staff, our customers, contractors and anyone else we come in contact with remains our highest priority. Our health

and safety system provides the framework to keep workers healthy and safe, regardless of their location.

Our Health, Safety and Wellbeing policy sets out our

commitments and reflects our intent to continue to

develop our health and safety culture. The focus is

on becoming more proactive - where we continue to

take personal ownership, learning safety lessons from

our safety events, and anticipate future safety risks

and needs.

Some of the specific focus areas for the Health, Safety

& Environment (HSE) team this year included:

1. Leadership development

• All H&S Representatives have completed H&S

Representation course Level 1 (NZQA 19315)

• The HSE team is currently supporting people

leaders from the Artificial Breeding area to

consolidate their risk register.

2. Training

The HSE team have facilitated a three-part

contractor management training for LIC contract

owners (1.5 training days in total). Training

content includes:

• An introduction to the shared safety responsibility

LIC has with other PCBUs (Person Conducting a

Business or Undertaking)

• A Permit Issuers course (covering NZQA 17590

requirements)

• How to complete prequalification of

external parties

• How to complete Safe Work Methods

Statements; and

• How and when to monitor contractors’ safety

performance.

Other formal safety related training provided to staff

includes First Aid (initial and refresher) Fire Warden

and Hazardous Substances.

LIC Sustainability Report

3. Critical risk management
SLT members and Board Directors spend time with

workers to understand our critical risk profiles and

gain assurance that the controls are effective. During

the year, twenty SLT and eight Director site visits were

carried out, reviewing all critical risks in a range of

locations. Combined with the HSE team’s audits, the

site visits by directors and SLT members serve as a

‘fresh pair of safe eyes’ and an additional layer of

confirmation that critical risk controls are in place

and effective. A further benefit of these visits is

that a first-hand view of the work environment closes

the gap between ‘work as imagined’ and ‘work as

done’ which allows for better safety management

and governance.

LIC has 66 identified instances of hazards that pose

an extreme risk to workers’ health and/or safety,

based on the LIC enterprise risk matrix rating

(extreme risks are deemed to be critical H&S risks).

4. Asking the right questions

We have set specific H&S objectives designed to focus

our attention on improving our systems and practices.

Our progress against these objectives is reviewed

on a quarterly basis by the H&S Governance Forum.

The objectives for 2025/26 have been refreshed and

H&S reporting to senior leaders and board members

continues to be reviewed and improved.

5. Supporting our injured and ill workers

As a member of the ACC Accredited Employers

Programme, we are responsible for the vocational,

medical and social rehabilitation of our workers. There

has been a steady improvement in rehabilitation and

return to work rates for our injured employees over

the last three years. In the last year both the number

of claims and the associated rehabilitation costs

have decreased. For the last three years, we have

attained secondary level accreditation against

ACC audit standards.

6. Sharing Duties of Care with farmers

This initiative is establishing a unified, standardised

approach to consulting, co-ordinating and

cooperating with farmers to manage shared health

and safety risks effectively. A working group has been

established to finalise minimum safe standards for

Artificial Breeding, Herd Testing Field Technicians and

Field Assist services. A pilot will then be carried out to

gather feedback from farmers and frontline workers

on the standard and its implementation. The aim is

to build trust and strong relationships by working

collaboratively with our farmers on an implementable

standard that benefits everyone’s health, safety and

readiness for herd improvement services.

LIC has also signed the Farm Without Harm pledge

by Safer Farms, reinforcing our dedication to creating

safer conditions across our farms and protecting our

people from preventable harm.

Employee Data
This employee data relates to the total

LIC group and is sourced from our Human

Resource (HR) system. The data for

permanent and fixed-term employees is

reported on a full-time equivalent (FTE) basis.

We employed a total of 1,701 seasonal workers

throughout the year ended 31 May 2025 (1,688 for

prior year), particularly during peak season for a

relatively short period of time, primarily as artificial

insemination technicians with 1,356 technicians and

assists in this area, and 345 other seasonal or casual

workers throughout the year to help in other areas of

the business, such as herd testing.

The reporting period is for the financial year ended 31

May 2025 (FY25), with final permanent and fixed-term

employees reported as at 31 May and comparatives

for the prior period (FY24). Our only significant

location is New Zealand, with less than 5% of

employees employed in any other individual country.

Our HR system does not currently capture gender
options alternative to male/female. Some age data

is not available as employees are not obliged to

disclose date of birth.

There were 19 permanent employees (2%) covered

by a collective bargaining agreement at 31 May

2025, and a further 21 (1.2%) seasonal workers

during the period. For employees not covered

by collective bargaining agreements, individual

contracts are entered into at the time

of employment.

During the year, there were 33 females (no males)

on parental leave and 15 females returned from

parental leave.

If significant operational changes are proposed

within the organisation, LIC will consult with

potentially impacted employees for a two-week

period on the proposed changes, with a minimum

of six weeks in total from notice of proposed

change until implementation of any final changes.

Economic
Sustainability

Delivering value for our farmer shareholders is at

the heart of everything we do, and strong financial

performance enables us to do just that – through

our herd improvement products and services, a solid

dividend and the right R&D investment to keep herds

profitable and sustainable into the future.

On 17 July 2025 the LIC Board announced a positive year-end

financial result for the 2024/25 year while continuing to invest in

innovations for farmer shareholders, ending the year with a solid

profit and an increased dividend of 12.22 cents per share.

The Board noted that the co-operative was pleased to deliver

such a positive result for farmer owners, especially one which

reflects the hard work that has been put in to deliver value behind

the farm gate.

Revenue has increased by 10.4% as farmer owners invested further

into their herds and the co-operative achieved a 14.8% improvement

in underlying earnings, excluding the one-off negative impacts of the

semen quality issue and the tax deductibility on commercial buildings

change included in last year’s financial result.

Recent years’ investments in digital capability have resulted in a

$4.0m increase in depreciation and amortisation compared to

last year and operating cashflows increased by $16.3m year on

LIC’s Audit, Finance and Risk board sub-committee oversees tax

compliance, including LIC’s Tax Policy and annual Tax Management

Plan, which identifies areas of tax change. LIC seeks to comply with all

aspects of the New Zealand and international tax acts for jurisdictions

that our subsidiaries reside in. Management has responsibility to

ensure that it has a broad understanding of all major tax issues

that arise from the ordinary business, major transactions, business

structures or strategies undertaken by LIC. LIC uses external tax

experts and software tools to ensure appropriate tax compliance

governance and controls are in place.

Our Business

We are the DNA of the New Zealand dairy sector,

breeding up to 75% of cows in the national dairy

herd. We take our role seriously as an important

player in the team supporting farmers with the right

herd improvement tools to breed more efficient and

climate resilient cows.

Our primary sector is the New Zealand dairy

sector. Our core customers are New Zealand dairy

farmers. Other customers include veterinarians who

support farmers, international semen distributors,

overseas dairy farmers, users of dairy herd data and

beef producers.

Keeping New Zealand farmers profitable and

sustainable is critical. We are owned by New Zealand

dairy farmers and therefore invest to fund research

and technology which will benefit not only this

generation of farmer shareholders and their herds,

but successive generations and their herds. This

long-term improvement and sustained return on

investment is the pure essence of what it means to be

a co-operative.

LIC exists to deliver superior genetics and

technological innovation to help our shareholders

sustainably farm profitable animals.

Key categories of goods and services
we procure

Labour hire

Professional consulting services

IT software and hardware

Laboratory supplies

Building materials and products

Farm supplies

Recruitment services

The most critical component of LIC’s supply chain is

our permanent and seasonal employees, as well as

our bull team. For our external suppliers our Strategic

Procurement team has policies and processes in place

to identify and manage critical risks that could impact

our supply chain. An example is our New Zealand

and international air freight and technology services.

Where there is a higher risk to our products and

services, particularly during peak season or where

components are sourced internationally, at least

one year of input components are held in advance

of need, such as consumables used for artificial

insemination and diagnostics testing.

The Procurement Policy requires that all procurement

decisions should also take into consideration the

potential impact to the environment, sustainability,

Health and Safety and compliance with any

other relevant legislative obligations and we

continue to work with suppliers in relation to

sustainability measures.

Partnerships

Partnerships are critical to our work and are a

strategic priority to develop. We work with others to

deliver to farmer needs, collaborating or partnering

with other organisations to deliver a seamless service

to farmers. We already work closely with other sector

participants, including:

• DairyNZ and NZ Animal Evaluation Ltd (subsidiary

of DairyNZ)

• Government ministries and agencies on joint

funding of R&D, such as MPI and MBIE

• Milk processors

• Specialist beef operations

• Sexing Technologies, providing the critical

technology for our sexed semen product

• Rural professionals, such as vets

• Animal wearable device companies

• Research specialists, such as at Auckland

University and Massey University

We are focused on building relationships with other

sector companies such as processors, fertiliser

companies and agritech device companies.

Our Supply Chain

Initiatives with partners of note include:

Farmlands, Silver Fern Farms and LIC –

Leadership and Governance

Development training

We partner with Farmlands and Silver Fern Farms

to offer shareholders of all three companies the

opportunity to learn more about governance in

co-operatives and develop skills needed to operate

at board level through a unique leadership and

governance development programme called “To

the Core”.

Fonterra’s Governance Development Programme

We also partner with Fonterra who offer one LIC

shareholder a place in its Governance Development

Programme to build their governance capabilities

and leadership skills. Running for approximately one

year, the content is provided by Fonterra and Massey

University’s College of Business.

Rural Support Trust

We have partnered with Rural Support Trust to

provide farmer facing staff with a resource that

offers guidance on providing mental health support

to farmers.

House of Science Central Waikato
The House of Science Central Waikato (HSCW) is

committed to bringing scientific literacy tools to

schools across the Waikato region. Their vision is to

raise science literacy which will have huge economic

and social benefits to New Zealand. We are proud to

continue our collaboration that started in 2021 with

HSCW and support them in a variety of ways. This

includes providing HSCW with an LIC vehicle to deliver

science kits to rural schools in the Waikato. Some of

our fantastic R&D staff also volunteer their time each

week to put together the science kits.

Scholarships

LIC offers three scholarship programmes to students

studying agriculture science and have an interest in

genetics or machine learning:

• The Brian Aspin Scholarship – LIC matches

funding donated by the Aspin family to provide

two scholarships per year for post-graduate

students to undertake either Honours or Masters

for up to two years of study at either Massey or

Lincoln Universities.

• The Patrick Shannon Scholarship - this scholarship

is named after one of the most innovative bovine

geneticists and reproductive biologists in the world.

Dr Shannon joined us in the mid-1950s and made

many world-breaking discoveries of great value to

the New Zealand dairy industry.

• The Livestock Improvement Doctoral Studentship

Programme - seeks top PhD (and possibly

Masters) students who potentially could fulfil key

science roles within our organisation. Successful

candidates are offered an internship with us for up

to a year then begin postgraduate studies – with

our full support (financial, academic, mentoring).

LIC supports the dairy sector, rural communities and

our farmers by sponsoring a variety of initiatives,

events, programmes and organisations. This provides

opportunities and promotes excellence within the

sector. Examples include:

• New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards

• Ministry for Primary Industries ‘Science for Farmers’

• Lincoln University Dairy Farm

• Southern Dairy Hub

• South Island Dairying Development Centre

• South Island Dairy Event

• Pasture Summit

• Owl Farm at St Peter’s School, Waikato

• Dairy Women’s Network

• Kellogg Rural Leadership Programme

• Massey University Dairy #1 Farm

• Ayrshire NZ conference

• Jersey NZ conference

• Holstein-Friesian NZ conference

• Smaller Milk and Supply Herds conference

• Safer Farms

• Distributing computer equipment no longer needed

to schools

• Support of calf club and pet days in schools

Our employees are able to apply for a day off per

annum for volunteer activities in the community.

We are also a member of Cooperative New Zealand.

Engaging with our
stakeholders

The Board and Senior Leadership Team regularly

consider different stakeholders and mechanisms

to engage with them, as well as making decisions

on when not to engage. This is commonly discussed

at regular management and Board meetings, with

recommendations made to Board, or requests from

the Board.

Our latest Net Promoter Score (NPS) was a positive result of 20

based on 439 farmer shareholder responses, a 16 point increase

from the prior year. NPS is a measure of customer experience that

ranges between -100 and +100.

Materiality assessment
During 2024/25 the Board and management

completed a strategy check-in, which

was informed by feedback from farmer

shareholders, other stakeholders and local

and global trends.

The focus on herd improvement was clarified in relation

to enabling emissions intensity reduction in the national

herd, with five priority areas identified as key enablers

of herd improvement.

Management and the Board have worked together

to carry out a materiality assessment on topics

where the company may have significant economic,

environmental and social impacts. We identified

potential topics of importance based on our strategy,

reports and guidance from the dairy sector, farmer

feedback and issues identified by risk assessments.

Materiality was determined by considering the

significance of our impact, the importance of the

issue to stakeholders and our ability to control and/

or influence the issue. Farmer-elected directors

provided key input in relation to importance of issues

for stakeholders and LIC regularly holds farmer

engagement meetings in different regions, or brings

groups of farmers to the Waikato, to continue to gather

feedback that is used in reviewing the material topics.

The business has also run a series of workshops with

farmers over the past year or so on key drivers for

‘breeding the herd for your farming future’.
