Elite Services is committed to social and environmental responsibility, taking steps to minimise our business’s impact for the benefit of our planet, people, and community.
Throughout 2024, Elite Services worked with KPMG to develop our sustainability programme, as we map our emissions and decarbonisation activity. We aim to implement initiatives based on the four pillars of sustainability to maintain a sustainable business model in New Zealand, both now and in the future.
This year, we achieved our Toitū carbonreduce certification. It shows that our carbon footprint has been measured and verified. Now we are working to further reduce our carbon footprint through climate science and best practice. We share our GhG emissions data with customers to collaborate with them on our shared goal: decarbonisation for a better future.
We’re taking serious action on our emissions This year we purchased six new Skoda EVs and installed charging infrastructure at our head office in Porirua, and in Auckland. It’s the beginning of our plan to electrify our entire fleet and work to achieve our sustainability targets.
Our long-term company-wide commitment is to do what’s right, and play our part in contributing to a healthy, thriving New Zealand. We’re taking a leadership position by sharing where we are at on our journey and getting feedback from our clients about how we can work with them more sustainably.
As a recognised Maori/Pasifika business, we have the opportunity to connect with Amotai buyers across various sectors. Amotai is New Zealand’s only supplier diversity network, and we are excited to be involved in progressive procurement in Aotearoa.
Elite Services cultivates a strong ‘Health and Safety’ culture. Our leadership team and staff have a full understanding of the critical importance of health and safety, supported by robust policies. Further initiatives will enhance and consolidate these processes and policies. We also hold SiteWise Gold 100% certification for on-site safety.
We have built employee welfare into our business. Elite Services offers all staff a living wage, comprehensive medical insurance, and support for mental health and well-being. In a survey, our staff told us that these initiatives have made a difference to them and their view of Elite Services as a considerate employer.
We believe it is vital to support organisations that provide invaluable services to our community.
For a number of years we have taken pleasure in supporting the following organisations.
