Fronde sustainability statement

Fronde is fully committed to the goal of environmental sustainability and the role business can play in achieving it. We have our own Sustainability Officer, whose role is to assess purchasing options and consider new initiatives for better supporting our commitment to the environment. We are involved in the Govt3 Programme as well as having our own initiatives in place. We also recycle all plastic, glass and cardboard as well as our toner cartridges, old computer equipment and printers.

We actively assess our suppliers for their sustainability procurement processes. For example, we buy our paper from Fuji Xerox because they comply with the Green Purchasing Network guidelines for printing and copying paper procurement. Their paper products are sourced from suppliers with proven and internationally recognised environmental certifications, committed to the sustainable sourcing of their raw materials.

We have reduced the waste we have produced by implementing initiatives such as ‘Follow-Me’ type functionality to our printers. This has slashed the amount we print and copy, as well as the paper we waste. Faxing is carried out via an email to fax gateway, which also reduces paper consumption.

We encourage employees to run, walk or cycle to work by providing showers and a towel services, along with storage for bikes and lockers. We have also reduced the need for travel between our Auckland and Wellington offices by using a dedicated videoconferencing facility.

Fronde is continuously assessing our processes and systems in order to reducing our environmental impact.
