Sustainability

We are dedicated to integrating green solutions throughout our operations to reduce our carbon footprint and promote environmental stewardship.

• Energy Efficiency: We use renewable energy sources and energy-saving technologies.
• Waste Reduction: Comprehensive recycling programs minimize waste and discourage single-use plastics.
• Sustainable Maintenance: Eco-friendly cleaning and maintenance practices help maintain our site responsibly.

We actively manage our resources and take practical steps to protect the surrounding environment.

By focusing on water conservation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and collaborating with environmental experts, we ensure that our operational practices align with the best standards in resource management.

Our efforts are strengthened through collaboration with local iwi, environmental groups, and educational institutions.

We believe that working together enhances our shared mission of sustainability by:

• Honouring local cultural values through respectful partnerships.
• Organizing joint environmental campaigns.
• Supporting community-driven initiatives that promote regional sustainability.

Educating our community and visitors about sustainable practices is a cornerstone of our mission.

Our interactive exhibits, workshops, and outreach programmes are designed to:

• Demonstrate practical examples of eco-friendly practices in heritage conservation.
• Inspire school groups and lifelong learners to adopt sustainable habits.
• Engage volunteers and community members in hands-on conservation projects.

We are always exploring new ways to innovate and improve our sustainability efforts as part of our ongoing commitment.

Upcoming projects include:

• Pursuing green building certifications and eco-friendly upgrades.
• Implementing advanced recycling systems for improved waste management.
• Expanding digital initiatives to reduce paper use and enhance visitor engagement.
• Regularly updating our sustainability roadmap in collaboration with community partners.
