Benchmarking our performance
We use the GRI framework within our annual reports to promote our sustainability reporting and facilitate access to key information, enhancing transparency and accountability.
CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project)
Contributing emissions data since 2006 the business achieved an improved climate score of B last year, compared to B- in 2020. It was the highest rating achieved by a New Zealand organisation, with the top honour being shared with a number of other leading local companies.
CDP also awarded a Supplier Engagement Score of A-, the first time this assessment has been made.
Toitū Carbonzero
We are proud to have our business operations Toitū carbonzero certified since 2021. While we expect some volatility year to year, our target objective is to reduce absolute emissions by 19.4% before 2025 (within five years of the 2020 base year).
Assurance from Toitū confirms our GHG emissions have been measured in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2006 and that we have offset unavoidable Scope 1, Scope 2 and mandatory Scope 3 emissions with locally sourced carbon credits.
Greenstar rated development
A commitment to sustainable development includes the targeting of a 5 Green Star Built rating for all new projects. The certification from the New Zealand Green Building Council, assesses the sustainability attributes of the development and the quality of the workspaces it provides.
Achieving a 5 Green Star Built rating will confirm that all new facilities can help reduce a customers’ carbon footprint. A more resource efficient building provides lower operating costs for these businesses with healthy and productive workspaces that support wellbeing.
