Linda is the Head of Energy & Climate in Fonterra’s Global Sustainability team. Linda grew up on a sheep and beef farm in rural New Zealand, which embedded a passion for the land and agriculture. Linda pursues both these passions in her professional and personal life.
Linda works for Fonterra, NZ’s largest dairy co-operative, where she leads the strategy and program to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions across the manufacturing sites, while also ensuring that the company has an economic and secure supply of energy. Personally, she has a farm where they are passionate about creating a great product, minimising the environmental impact of beef production, and leaving the land in a better state for future generations to enjoy.
