We had a great turnout at our inaugural Waste Management 101 event in Queenstown, where we invited builders from all around the region to our Sudima Queenstown site to check out options for reducing construction waste going to landfill.
We donated one of our site portacoms to an inspiring community for former homeless people in the Manawatu.
Naylor Love is offering free access to a carbon calculator developed to help its clients visualise the potential carbon impacts of construction material choices.
In another great initiative by one of our staff-led regional Sustainability Committees, our Central Otago team have committed to spending four afternoons a year volunteering with the Wakatipu Reforestation Trust.
We sponsored a health & safety poster competition for the students at Lawrence Area School, where we’re on site upgrading the school buildings.
Our Auckland team challenged themselves to design, build and race go carts made from waste materials from site. It got them thinking about alternatives to sending rubbish to landfill – and was enormously good fun!
Another way we’ve found new homes for bits and pieces from our construction sites that we don’t need any more – we donated a pile of plywood hoardings from our Sylvia Park site to the Tipping Point Re-Use Shop at the Auckland City Council Resource Recovery Centre in Henderson.
We took part in a working bee at Fernglen Native Plant Gardens, building a new ceiling in their education room.
Our teams around the country have been working hard to reduce the waste generated by our construction sites, including donating offcuts to a local high school.
Our Corporate Membership with Auckland Zoo supports the zoo’s conservation efforts, helps us learn more about the environment, and gives us some unforgettable days out with our families.
