We've created a sustainable office
When we kick-started the process of finding a new Auckland home in 2021, we were eager to do things differently and place a strong emphasis on sustainability.
We love our new home — from the Jacobsen’s carpets made from recycled drinking bottles and Tarkett hard floors manufactured from recycled PVC to the Green Tag Certified Autex Cube ceiling tiles, made with at least 40 percent recycled materials.
We were also careful not to let anything end up in landfill during the move, by teaming up with All Heart New Zealand.
