The Warehouse Group - Carbon Neutral

Robert from The Warehouse New Plymouth

The land, the sea, the air, our children and their future are all dependent on this generation to act now. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate. If left unchecked, it will have dire consequences for us all.

At The Warehouse Group, we want to play our part by taking responsibility for the impact we have on the environment and steer a path for others to follow.

We’re the largest company in New Zealand – and only the third major retailer globally - to be carbon neutral. We’re doing this because we care about the health of our people, Aotearoa New Zealand, and the planet.

We are committed to this journey. Our target is to reduce emissions by 32 percent by 2030 (from our 2015 base level). This is in keeping with the target of staying within 2⁰C of warming, based on pre-industrial levels, set by the 2015 Paris Agreement.

It’s a big challenge, and a daunting one, but we’re excited by the opportunity to do our bit for the decarbonisation of the New Zealand economy. We are in a unique position to influence change around how we manage carbon emissions, particularly among our customers and suppliers. We all need to work together for the wellbeing of everyone and we hope you will join us on this journey.
