carbon neutral
PaintPlus operations certified carbon neutral
Environmental safety has been a fundamental principle since PaintPlus was founded. Becoming carbon neutral when such certification became available was a natural step.
PaintPlus was one of the very first companies to become certified carbon neutral under what was the world’s first ISO 14065 internationally accredited greenhouse gas certification programme; carboNZero®.
Why carboNZero certification?
- It’s developed from solid science at Landcare Research, a New Zealand Government owned Crown Research Institute.
- It’s the first GHG certification scheme in the world to achieve international accreditation through JAS-ANZ. It is recognised in over 50 economies, and has certified organisations in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, and the UAE.
- So you can be sure we have been assessed comprehensively to the most rigorous international standards (including measurement to ISO140064-1) available for measuring and managing a carbon footprint.
So what did we have to do to achieve certification?
So how have we got on?
Since gaining certification, PaintPlus achieved a 54% reduction in the total size of our carbon footprint; a 66% improvement in production efficiency and a 52% improvement in sales efficiency.
