Who is doing what business sustainability projects in New Zealand?

How to find out more before you start your project

We have grouped projects in two lists:

  • by sector according to ANZSIC code; for example ‘Boat building (ANZSIC Code: C282200)’
  • other initiatives that don’t have an ANZSIC code, in alphabetical order, for example ‘Hazardous waste’

Can’t find anyone to help? Contact us and we will help get you started.

Contact details missing or out of date? Please email us the correct information so we can keep this up to date.

Are you running any other New Zealand-based waste minimisation / business sustainability projects?If you are happy to be contacted by people wanting help as they start to work with similar organisations, email the following information to us and we will add it to the website:

  • project/sector name
  • ANZSIC code (if known)
  • organisation name
  • name of contact person
  • email address
  • main switchboard phone number (including area code)
  • web address if applicable

To look at results of resource efficiency projects in these and other sectors, go to Case Studies.
