Key Sponsorships
Why salmon is important.
New Zealand King Salmon supports managed growth and prosperity for the communities we work in. We are proud of the role we play in both the regional economy of Marlborough and Top of the South, and in New Zealand’s national development. Salmon farming has an ‘economic multiplier’ effect, meaning it creates work and income for employees, as well as a raft of local suppliers; including engineering firms, scientists, and water taxis for example, while also benefitting the community through grants and sponsorship.
Working with the community.
New Zealand King Salmon has an active and focused sponsorship and community support programme. We support various community organisations, charities and events, with financial and product sponsorship in line with our company policy. Geographically our sponsorship focus is on the Marlborough region, followed by the greater top of the South and our freshwater locations.
Our commitment is to:
- Improving life in the community; especially focused on youth development, environmental and educational organisations.
- Continuing to work hard to be a good neighbour in Marlborough.
- Participating in flagship food and wine events in the Marlborough region and the top of the South.
- Making Marlborough, and New Zealand, proud to be producing the world’s best salmon.
Below we feature links to some quite outstanding community groups that we sponsor.
