At Moddex we are committed to sustainability. We recognise that a successful future for our business is dependent on the sustainability of the environments, communities and economies in which we operate.
Late last year we achieved Toitū carbonreduce organisation certification (ISO 14064-1). The programme helps us accurately measure our greenhouse gas emission and puts in place strategies to manage and reduce impacts. This represents achieving the next step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability – Establishing measurable objectives and targets and continuously improving environmental performance.
Specifically, we are committed to long term measurement of our Emissions Inventory. We will achieve this by gaining an understanding of emissions management and reduction and will communicate and build our culture around this methodology.
Year one will see us collaborate with suppliers and discuss ideas with staff to reduce emissions. In subsequent reporting periods the management team will support and contribute to development of a detailed emissions management plan for year two and the future. As we build our plan, targets and goals will be set to ensure we continually improve our emissions inventory.
The Moddex way of doing things already minimizes waste by removing the need for cutting, and welding on site. Waste is minimized for our customers and we work hard internally to make clever use of every piece of material that is in our warehouse. Anything we can’t use gets recycled. For example, our manufactured off-site Ezibilt ramp system can be re-used, if it is no longer needed on one site, it can easily be transported for use in another project.
Positively contributing to the environment is something we commit to as a company everyday – it’s not just words within a green policy for us.
Positively contributing to the environment is something we commit to as a company everyday – it’s not just words within a green policy for us. From planting one tree for every invoice generated, to reducing wastage of materials and use of fuels like diesel, we strive to find new ways to meet our goals every day. Every team member is involved through education and taking part in company wide initiatives.
We recognise that sustainability is more than our impact on the physical environment, it is also about the wellbeing of individuals and communities. That is why Moddex as an organization supports the wellbeing of staff through committed health and safety, regular celebration of wins and team building, the provision of time for individuals to support the charity of their choice and by providing ongoing financial literacy training and the support of personal goals of each and every team member.
Moddex is committed to our low carbon future with our Toitū carbonreduce certified operations, we’re proud to be taking science-based action for the environment and are excited to be sharing our journey with you.
