The majority of Craigmore operations are in rural areas where primary industries play a significant role in local economies. By creating employment opportunities, we are helping to bring new families into under-invested rural communities, as well as bringing new people into primary industries. We invest in people through upskilling and training to set them up for success now and in the future.

The health, safety and wellbeing of our teams is a core value of our business. We recognise our people, both employees and contractors, face day-to-day, sector-specific risks when working in our business. Craigmore promotes the use of best-practice health and safety protocols to protect the physical safety and mental well-being of our people and those who work with us.
We are creating a culture of safety across our business, ensuring every person receives the tools to work safely; the training they need to understand the risks they may face; and the instructions on the steps they need to take to keep themselves and others safe.
Core focus areas continue to be the management of critical health and safety risks, building company-wide capability and confidence, partnering with contractors, and focused reporting. Our critical risk focus during this year has been on vehicle safety, machine safety, working at height, working in confined spaces and hazardous substances management.
Most of Craigmore’s operations are based in rural areas, where primary industries are key drivers of local economies. By creating employment opportunities, we help attract new families to under-invested rural communities and encourage more people to enter careers in farming, horticulture and forestry.
Craigmore is committed to being a transformational employer in rural New Zealand. We believe there is a better way to support employment in communities, where traditional work structures – such as seasonal roles, split shifts, long hours, and physically demanding tasks – can make jobs inaccessible for many.
By embracing new technologies and fresh thinking, we aim to make careers in the primary sector more accessible, flexible and appealing.
Key to Craigmore is the connections we have with the local communities we operate in. Because all our properties are locally managed it means we are part of the community and it’s important to us to build confidence in rural New Zealand.
Community goes to the heart of our values and the reinvigoration of rural communities is a key pillar in our strategy. Getting involved or giving back is second nature for our teams – so you’ll see us at your local sport club, school or community activity giving our time or sponsorship.
We know that when our businesses flourish, it helps our communities flourish; and when our communities flourish, it helps our business.
