Welcome to Greenstock

In February 2021, Woolworths Group established Greenstock, a stand-alone beef, pork and lamb business. It was created to work with primary producers and suppliers, unlocking value across the supply chain and broader Woolworths ecosystem to provide the combined meat needs of Woolworths Group’s retail, international, food services and wholesale businesses. With a focus on people, data, quality, welfare and sustainability, our ambition is to continue to evolve into a strategic multi-channel, multi-species, dynamic, agile and strongly commercial protein specialist known for our leading products and tailored solutions for our customers and channels.

Behind all of this is a philosophy where we deliver from farm to plate, creating better solutions for a better tomorrow. We believe in innovating protein, in pairing instinct and deep subject matter expertise with data and strongly partnering with industry to help build a better tomorrow. We believe in innovation, curiosity and challenging the way things have always been done.
