​​​​​​​CARING FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT

At Pūmanawa Āwhina, we believe wellbeing is not only being connected to personal hauora but to everything around us that contributes to the environment we live in.

Accordingly, we have guidelines on how we can commit to ensuring we do our bit to minimise waste through recycling, minimisation of use of plastics and increased awareness of waste reduction initiatives.

OVERVIEW

Starting from the 1st September 2024, Pūmanawa Āwhina in conjunction with Auckland Council has launched the " Waste Reduction and Recycling Charter " (the "Te Taiao ora Charter") to enhance awareness and development of recycling habits. We invite our staff, partners, stakeholders and communities to sign the Charter.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Charter are to –

• raise public awareness and help those around us cultivate green living

• encourage waste reduction and drive behavioural change towards practising recycling separation

• cultivate good recycling habit to improve recycling rate
