Hi, to sign in to your account,
SUSTAINABILITY
Together, we’re trying to make a positive impact in New Zealand.
How we do business is as important as what we do. We are embedding sustainability across all we do - in the homes we build, the customers we serve, and the care we show the people we work and connect with every day. Focusing on achieving our goals will not only have a positive impact on the environment and the climate but will create long-term value for our business and future generations.
WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE AND HOW WE’RE GOING TO GET THERE
We have a genuine commitment to making a positive impact environmentally and socially. With our purpose in mind, ‘Together, we’re building New Zealand’, we’ve set ourselves some ambitious goals to make a difference. Created to align with our general strategy pillars of Our People, Our Customers, Our Operations and Our Community, here's how our sustainability goals are playing to our strengths.
