introduction

The Zque programme has been developed to satisfy your expectations of the integrity of your MAPP Merino fabric. This includes assurance that production systems meet suitable standards for the stewardship of livestock, management of the environment and socially responsible practices, and that the resulting products are of the highest quality.

 

Specifically, Zque:

• Encourages the production of ‘fit for purpose’ New Zealand Merino fibre through systems with enhanced animal welfare, environmental, social and economic values;

• Provides extra confidence for customers as to the quality and integrity of New Zealand Merino fibre accredited under the Zque programme;

• Provides a framework for further innovation of the programme and grower recognition inthe future.
