In 2024, McCormack Family Farms achieved a significant reduction in water usage per unit of output, decreasing from 719 L/1,000 units in 2023 to an estimated 370 L/1,000 units. This performance surpassed the milestone target by 49%, reflecting the company’s strong commitment to water conservation and resource efficiency.
To support ongoing improvements, McCormack Family Farms is actively pursuing two water-related initiatives. The first involves retrofitting existing equipment to enhance water efficiency across operations. This includes upgrading irrigation systems and washing equipment to reduce water waste without compromising product quality or hygiene standards.
The second initiative focuses on identifying new opportunities for water savings. This includes exploring alternative water sources, improving data collection infrastructure, and analysing operational processes to uncover areas for further optimisation. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to future-proof the business against water-related risks and ensure sustainable growth.
