SUSTAINABILITY

beyond profit, connecting with our planet, our people, our community

The global business and political environment is changing at a rapid pace

Alsco Uniforms has released our ‘Sustainability Update 2021’ in November. This document outlines our progress towards the four Big, Bold Sustainability Goals and features some of our community initiatives.

2030 BIG, BOLD MEANINGFUL GOALS

Alsco Uniforms is committed to the reduction of its energy usage and subsequently, its carbon footprint. To achieve this, we work closely with our employees, customers, and the community. We partner with our suppliers and contractors to understand and comply with community and legislative expectations and regulations. We do not just meet industry environmental standards – we constantly strive to exceed them and encourage our employees, clients, and business partners to help us do so.

Alsco Uniforms has worked with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) to launch energy saving initiatives, whilst also being courageous to adopt and test newer technologies. This includes but is not limited to, the uptake of the first long-distance intercity heavy EV freighter in New Zealand, moving to a wood-pellet boiler in the processing facility in Nelson, and has amalgamated two old inefficient plants into one efficient processing facility in Richmond.

With EECA’s support, Alsco Uniforms has also employed an energy management graduate. The company will, with assistance from our graduate, reduce energy usage by 2 GWh at the end of the programme. This corresponds to approximately 3% of Alsco Uniform’s entire energy usage and is equivalent to switching off 220 million LEDs or powering 18,000 Electric Vehicles.

In 2018, Alsco Uniforms committed to four Big Bold Sustainability Goals to guide the business through to the year 2030.
