31 Environment | Sustainability Report 2024
At a glance: In 2024…
The team is seeking to implement contracts with two waste providers that will cover all of New Zealand’s operations. This will provide access to industry leading data collection and reporting tools that align with the region’s sustainability strategy on waste, while providing all branches with access to different waste streams, diverting from landfill.
The team is also working closely with packaging suppliers to find better solutions. Alternatives to Prowrap, which is extremely difficult to recycle, are being trialed with the expectation of finding a solution by the end of 2024. Local suppliers have been identified that are able to recycle textiles into reusable packaging. This is also being explored to create alternatives for polystyrene corners and iBubble.
More KPIs are being set in 2024 around procurement, waste and emissions. Customer initiatives are also being developed, including investigating the option of a GHG carbon count when providing a price, to ensure there is a choice between different transport modes.

sustainability that runs right through the heart of the land here. I am proud of the genuine progress we’re making – and it was great for Ecovadis to recognize that by awarding us a silver rating. We are eager to do more, and I want that silver award to turn gold as confirmation of the real difference we are making! With a baseline now set and a 2040 net zero target established, 2024 will be the year that we begin pedaling harder with an aim in sight, and a strategy to fuel us forward.
