We’re proud to once again demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship by achieving Carbon Positive certification with Carbon Positive.
Beyond Carbon Neutral: A 125% Commitment
In the face of ongoing climate challenges, we’ve go beyond neutralising our carbon footprint. By offsetting 125% of our emissions, we’re actively contributing to environmental restoration. For the measurement period from October 2023 to September 2024, we’ve successfully offset 18.02 tonnes of carbon through the strategic planting of 42 native New Zealand trees at Atiu Regional Park.

Why Native Trees Matter
We’ve chosen to offset our carbon through native tree planting, recognising the unique environmental benefits of this approach. Native trees support local biodiversity and provide long-term carbon retention.
A Collective Responsibility
We believe that combating climate change requires collective action. By sharing our journey, we hope to inspire other businesses to take meaningful steps towards sustainability. Together, we can create a thriving, sustainable future for Aotearoa and generations to come.
