Our Sustainability - It's More than Business

The way that we manage our environment affects our long term economic viability, our image and our reputation as a trustworthy business leader.  
As guardians of the environment for future generations, we all have a stake in protecting it, and promoting best practices which will ensure that our
grandchildren and their children have a healthy and prosperous future.

  • Regularly tuning combustion plants to ensure air discharges operate within agreed limits.

  • Using environmentally compatible technologies and systems to handle waste.

  • Reducing air travel and our carbon footprint by using video-conferencing and audio-conferencing where possible.

  • Using local/regional suppliers, wherever possible.

  • Consistent and collaborative approach to resource consent monitoring to ensure compliance with local environmental standards.

  • Reducing water use and improving water efficiency in our processing plants.
