Sustainable business practice
Our company has a diffused business structure involving a number of people. We employ local subcontractors; on the whole, we try to use companies within the South Island. Most of our work is transferred over high-speed internet. This reduces the need for couriers and also reduces large amounts of travel.
We ourselves use, and we recommend that our clients use, paper developed by companies using environmentally responsible paper. This can range from stock manufactured from sustainable, well-managed forests through to stock developed from 100% post-consumer waste.
We endeavour to reduce the use of vehicles as the office is located on our rural residential property. We recycle most of the material that comes in and out of the office.
