As part of our ongoing activities across Practice Green, Henry Schein New Zealand is thrilled to announce our recent achievement of the Toitū enviromark® gold certification.

Toitū enviromark® programme ensures organisations are meaningfully managing their environmental impacts through a mentoring approach. Through the programme, organisations develop, implement and maintain a robust Environmental Management System (EMS). The EMS is independently audited annually to ensure it meets stringent requirements of continual improvement, applicable regulations and international standards.

In addition to meeting all applicable health, safety and environmental legislation covered across our EMS, as a Toitū enviromark® gold certified organisation we have developed a comprehensive plan to help achieve our goals outlined in our formal environmental policy. We are measuring our impacts so that we can better manage them and have a robust environmental management system in place at our site in Auckland.

The team at Henry Schein New Zealand are very excited about the next steps in our environmental sustainability journey. Working alongside Toitū Envirocare we will continue to drive improvement and environmental change across our business activities.
