sustainability

As part of Reachmedia’s commitment to sustainability, the company participate, along with other parts of the New Zealand Post Group, in the St James Ethics Centre Corporate Responsibility Index survey (‘CRI’) on an annual basis. The CRI result is then benchmarked against other comparable businesses to give a gauge on achievement of sustainability strategy against other local and global businesses. The results, and associated benchmarking, deliver a measure of strategy performance, helping us to identify areas for improvement.

The CRI assesses the extent to which corporate strategy is integrated into responsible business practice throughout an organisation. It provides a benchmark for companies to evaluate their management practice in four key areas of corporate responsibility (community, environment, marketplace and workplace) and performance in a range of environmental and social impact areas material to their business.

Reachmedia measure our emissions based on a tool developed by Landcare that splits emissions into three scopes:

Scope 01

Emissions are generated from sources owned directly by Reachmedia.

Scope 02

Focused around electricity emissions.

Scope 03

Relates to emissions from sources outside of Reachmedia ownership but directly relates to our operations, i.e. Transport providers. In particular, we have placed an emphasis on understanding the credentials of our major suppliers.

Reachmedia considers that its success is directly linked to how we approach the stewardship of resources within the marketplace, environment and communities that we touch. As such, Reach created a sustainability strategy that is at the heart of our business and acts as a “Guiding light” of how we, individually and as a business, think about and interact with our people, our clients, our suppliers, our community and our environment (Our Four Pillar’s).
