Sustainability

Over 50 years ago, our forebears had a grand vision to develop a local steel industry as a strategic asset for New Zealand, utilising local resources and raw materials. And here we are, still doing exactly that, building NZ together and making our country stronger.

Sustainability is important to us in every facet of our business including environmental, social, economic, and cultural. Environmentally we have high degrees of recycling and reuse, and insist on using a sustainable supply chain. Socially, we prioritise the safety and wellbeing of our workforce and support over 4000 jobs in our community. We give back to our local communities by supporting local charitable trusts, schools and local community groups. Our economic contribution means we put over $600 million per year into the NZ economy. When you buy $100 worth of steel made in NZ, $80 stays in NZ. When you buy imported steel, around $5 stays in NZ.

We are proud to be New Zealand's steel maker, actively working to produce our products in the most sustainable and ethical way possible.
