ChildFund New Zealand plants trees to ensure sustainable income and carbon offsetting

ChildFund New Zealand is committed to the principle of doing no harm as well as ensuring that their work is sustainable, appropriate, feasible, and empowering (SAFE), which includes protecting the environment as well as enhancing the natural environment of our places of work. For this reason, CFNZ tracks their carbon emissions, which includes travel to and from work, our work place energy, and travel for work both nationally and internationally. They then aim to plant trees in dedicated partner communities to offset these emissions.

Beyond reduce, re-use, recycle – MIO-ECSDE’s comprehensive approach to environmental sustainability

MIO-ECSDE increasingly holds Annual General Meetings (AGMs) virtually, having face to face events only every 2 or 3 years. Staff are encouraged to use video-conferencing (including for Board meetings and AGMs, which are now held physically only every 2-3 years). Moreover, a thorough green events policy requires venues to apply eco-standards and provide plastic-free catering services and locally sourced food.
