New Zealand is famed for its unspoilt natural environment - we aim to keep it that way. An absolute commitment to environmental responsibility is an integral part of our business philosophy. This begins with wood fibre sourced from responsibly managed exotic plantation forests which provide a natural sink for carbon dioxide and we support FSC Chain of Custody certification as a formal means of demonstrating our commitment.

Both the Tasman and Kinleith mills are required to comply with strict environmental law and resource consents discharge standards for air, water and land. Tasman Mill also holds the externally-audited international environmental standard ISO 14001. Both mills have an ECF (Elemental Chlorine Free) bleaching process.

The mills emphasise stakeholder involvement and consultation, recognising the importance of the communities and ecosystems where they operate.
