We are working with our suppliers to eliminate the use of materials containing red list chemicals which are harmful to the users, pollute the environment and accumulate in the food chain.

In the long term, our CO² emissions for our vehicle fleet will be reduced with the transition to suitable hybrid and eventually electric vehicles.

Toitū Envirocare annually measure our overall carbon footprint and our goal is to go beyond carbonzero certification and be at least double carbon positive within 5 years.

Having a framework to drive behavior changes in our company is crucial, as is measuring the effects of these changes. In the next few years, we will be working towards ISO14001 certification.
