Environmental Sustainability

We’re on a journey to reduce our impact to the environment. To help us achieve this, we have a range of initiatives which include:

  • Participation in Carbon Neutral Government Programme (CNGP)
  • Organisation wide Environmental Sustainability Policy
  • Offsetting air travel carbon with credits
  • Holding meetings online instead of in-person where practical to reduce associated travel
  • Incremental replacement of fleet with hybrid and electric vehicles
  • Established an internal Sustainability Steering Committee
  • Supplier Sustainability Code of Conduct policy
  • Waste Reduction Audits
  • Toitū carbonreduce certification

Our reduction targets

We have identified six key areas of our environmental footprint to focus on initially. We started measuring our progress in 2021 and have set some targets to achieve by 2025.

air travel by

Reduced electricity
consumption by 20%
