Building Tomorrow
ARDEX New Zealand is proud to be Toitu carbonreduce certified. We have achieved this certification from Toitu Envirocare for our efforts in measuring and reducing our carbon footprint. Our progress is measured by an annual audit of gross emissions by Toitu, helping ensure we are doing our part in reducing climate change contributions.
Certification Details:
- The Toitü carbonreduce certification is in accordance with ISO 14064-1.
- You can find the certificate [here] and the Toitu Certification Summary [here].

“By localising our manufacturing processes, we are able to reduce sea freight distances and minimize the carbon
footprint associated with transporting materials. This not only supports our sustainability goals but also strengthens our commitment to the New Zealand community.”
– Andrew Clayton, Operations Manager
SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS AT ARDEX NEW ZEALAND
We believe that sustainability isn’t just about reducing emissions – it’s about transforming how we operate and influence the entire construction industry.
We have been manufacturing in New Zealand since 1941. By focusing on localising production, we are able to significantly reduce sea freight distances and minimise transportation-related emissions. This not only reduces our environmental footprint but also strengthens our connection to the New Zealand economy, providing high-quality products with a reduced carbon impact.
To further reduce transportation emissions, we are transitioning to a hybrid fleet. As of September 2024, 22% of our vehicles are hybrid, with the goal of achieving 100% hybrid vehicles by 2030.
Ensuring our containers are fully loaded helps reduce the total number of shipments, directly lowering emissions and operational inefficiencies.
We are actively investing in cutting-edge technologies to reduce our environmental footprint.
We are committed to using energy efficiently throughout our operations, aiming to reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprint. – All lights in our facilities are being replaced with energy-efficient LEDs to minimise energy use.
We have implemented waste management strategies to reduce waste sent to landfill and promote recycling and reuse wherever possible. – Initiatives such as localised improved new recycling streams and maximise recycling of waste in conjunction with our waste partner
