Let's take care of Aotearoa

At WM New Zealand, we are deeply committed to safeguarding our environment and leading by example in sustainability. Our approach is rooted in transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement, ensuring that our actions today positively impact future generations.

Our Vision

Climate change is a paramount challenge for both Aotearoa and the world. We aim to invest in a circular economy and carbon-neutral future, pioneering the waste sector's commitment to sustainability. In 2019, we set a precedent by measuring our emissions and devising a carbon reduction plan through the Toitū programme.
