Blue Sky Pastures has gone from strength to strength since winning the Westpac Supreme Award at the Southland Business Excellency Awards two years ago.
After posting losses for consecutive years, the business, previously known as Blue Sky Meats, recorded a 36 per cent growth in net profit before tax to $5 million in 2019.
… Blue Sky Pastures had also experienced significant changes in workplace culture, recording an 85 per cent reduction in injuries over the past three years, O’Donnell said.
“Before 2016, there hadn’t been a particularly good health and safety culture, there wasn’t the reporting or the management. So we put the basics in place. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it,” he said.
