Henry Schein New Zealand - Toitu enviromark® bronze certified organisation

Henry Schein New Zealand - Toitu enviromark® bronze certified organisation

As part of our activities around Practice Green, Henry Schein New Zealand is excited to announce our partnership with Toitū Envirocare and the recent achievement of the Toitū enviromark® bronze 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. As a Toitū enviromark® bronze certified organisation we have thought about which activities our EMS must control across our site at Bush Road, Rosedale along with meeting all applicable health, safety and environmental legislation for the areas of our organisation covered by the EMS.

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.

Henry Schein New Zealand - Tree Planting Initiative with Kaipatiki Project
The Henry Schein NZ team recently partnered with Kaipātiki Project, participating in a local tree planting initiative, planting 80 trees within Eskdale Reserve on the North Shore in Auckland. We had a variety of trees, shrubs and ground cover plants which will enable growth in vulnerable areas, and to support the banks and streams to protect wildlife and fish that reside in these reserves. With the amount of rainfall Auckland has had in the area, the soil was nice and damp and will allow the trees to establish and thrive in preparation for a warm summer ahead.
