eMission

Reduce your carbon footprint, gain environmental accreditation and boost profits

Subsidised by leading Government agencies and facilitated by highly experienced advisors, eMission is a one-year programme which helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint and achieve nationally-recognised environmental accreditation (EnviroMark NZ levels bronze, silver and gold).

eMission has evolved out of Greater Wellington's sustainable business programme running since 2006. Businesses involved reported benefits including:

  • Increase in profits from improving efficiencies, reducing waste and increasing client base due to demonstrated environmental credentials
  • Brand building, free marketingand publicity. Businesses involved in the programmehave won environmental/sustainability awards
  • Economical (thanks to a government subsidy along with the lower cost of the EnviroMark-NZ process)and easy to follow staged approach to gaining environmental accreditation ISO14001

In June 2009, a range of businesses from Wellington, Porirua and Hutt city areas joined the eMission 2009/10 programme. Click on the link to find out more about what the businesses have achieved.
