The Warehouse Group goes carbon neutral

CarboNZero certification has been granted The Warehouse Group, the company congratulated on its achievement by climate change minister James Shaw.

Towards this end, the group has worked with global energy management company Schneider Electric to install EV charging stations at 24 of its store locations across the country.

Their story features in the latest EVtalk

magazine.

“The Warehouse Group officially becoming net carbon neutral is a great achievement and I welcome the group’s commitment and contribution towards reducing New Zealand’s greenhouse emissions,” he says.

“Achievements like this, and the leadership being shown by other members of the Climate Leaders Coalition, together with the Farming Leaders Group, iwi, and others is vital if we are to become a carbon neutral economy by 2050.

“We are already feeling the effects of climate change, such as fires, floods, droughts and storms.”

Action to limit global warming is having a growing influence on people’s decisions across a range of activities, Shaw says.

“Our window of opportunity to limit the effects of climate change is closing but we still have time – if we act now.”

The Zero Carbon Bill is expected to be passed into law this year, Shaw says.
