Our Vision

Like you, AB Lime is committed to minimising our environmental impact whilst encouraging continual improvement in performance across a number of very diverse business units. How we achieve this can be challenging.

We start by understanding the individual and unique environmental challenges each business units faces and how they effect their surrounding environment. We then focus on achieving sustainable economic development while avoiding, remedying and mitigating adverse effects on the environment.

Our focus is to:

actively seek to reduce negative impacts
enhance the positive aspects of our operations on the natural environment through effective planning and management
Comply with all legislation, regulations and other requirements relevant to the business activities.
establish and maintain Environmental Management Plans for each business unit that prescribes and provides for appropriate guidelines, standards, measures and procedures to eliminate, minimise and mitigate environmental effects.
manage landholdings so that biodiversity is protected and enhanced, where practicable, throughout AB Lime operations.
raise environmental awareness and the importance of being a good corporate citizen through the training and development of employees.

Curious about the science behind increasing DM with lime!

We worked alongside Massey University Fertiliser & Lime Research Centre to carry out extensive trials on lime performance.

The results highlight just how important lime quality and particle sizing is to your farm.
