FMNZ in the Community
FMNZ is committed to supporting the communities in which we operate. We invest time and resources into initiatives that create long-lasting, positive impact.
Partnering with local schools, community groups and organisations, we support initiatives such as equipping school buses with radio transmitters, supporting projects like the Kererū, and providing recreational access to forests for clubs and special interest groups.
These activities not only enhance the wellbeing of the regions we work in but also reinforce our responsibility as custodians of the land – helping to protect biodiversity, support local employment, and build resilient, engaged communities for future generations.
