Sustainability
We take our role as kaitiaki seriously
All brands under Preston Corp are Toitū enviromark gold certified, and we’re continuing to collect environmental data as we work towards diamond status. The changes that count most for us are in refrigeration, water, transport and waste.
- Refrigeration: We’ve invested in a natural CO₂ system with low global warming potential and zero ozone depletion potential.
- Water: Our thermoformer recirculates cooling water, helping us reduce the amount we use.
- Transport: Our sister company KAM Transport provides around 70% of our transport and also holds Toitū enviromark gold certification.
- Waste: We work to make the most of every carcass, reuse cartons and recycle cardboard and film.
About Preston Foods
Proudly family owned since 1904
Our story started in Wellington with Arthur Edward Preston, an English butcher who opened his own shop in 1904. His grandsons went on to open a specialist meat processing operation on Hopper Street in 1978. Today, with the fifth generation working in the business, we’re still New Zealand family owned and operated.
That commitment to quality and customer service hasn’t changed, and our values — integrity, innovation, quality, teamwork and being customer driven — shape how we work day to day.
