Welcome to the BusinessCare Website

BusinessCare is committed to business sustainability in New Zealand. By providing training and support, BusinessCare aims to increase the number of people who have cleaner production skills throughout the country, giving business and industry greater access to experts to help them towards a sustainable future.

So what is cleaner production? Cleaner production is an internationally acknowledged method of continuous improvement of processes, products and services aimed at preventing the generation of waste rather than focusing on disposal. It helps businesses and other organisations reduce their adverse environmental effects by:

  • using resources like water, energy and raw materials efficiently
  • producing environmentally sound products and services
  • avoiding or reducing all forms of waste
  • turning waste avoidance into profit

This website is for anyone interested in business sustainability. Please use the email response links throughout this site to tell us what you think and what you need.
