Our sustainability strategy is centred on impactful actions that drive positive environmental change. We have developed a robust framework that encompasses responsible waste management, active community participation, professional engagement, conscious travel choices and strong governance to guide us towards a sustainable future.

Diverting Construction Waste from Landfill
Partnering with Green Gorilla, we implement waste management strategies at our construction sites, significantly reducing landfill contributions and amplifying recycling efforts. Transparent monthly tracking ensures that we can measure our environmental impact effectively. 

Ecological Volunteering
Our team engages in biannual ecological activities, including tree planting and beach clean-ups in partnership with local initiatives. This involvement promotes biodiversity, restores ecosystems, and allows our staff to actively participate in making a tangible difference to our environment.

Professional Network Engagement
Memberships with the Sustainable Business Network and the New Zealand Green Building Council strengthen our industry ties and knowledge base. This ensures we stay at the forefront of sustainability standards and certifications, driving innovation within our work.

Sustainability Committee and Guiding Principles
Our guiding principles—responsible design education, sustainable workplace creation, considered material selection, and a balanced approach to environmental and economic outcomes—are championed by our dedicated Sustainability Committee. This group ensures these values are integrated across all levels of our operations, projects and procurement processes throughout our supply chains.

Uber Green Commitment
We mandate the use of Uber Green for business travel, prioritising hybrid and electric vehicles to minimise carbon emissions. This commitment underscores our dedication to aligning our transport practices with our environmental goals.
