NZ Van Lines is proud to be Toitū carbon reduce certified

NZ Van Lines Leads in Sustainable Development

We are proud to announce that NZ Van Lines has achieved Toitū carbon reduce certification — a first for the New Zealand moving industry. This significant milestone reflects our long-term commitment to sustainability, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and building a more responsible future for the moving and storage industry.

This certification reinforces our leadership and demonstrates to our customers and partners that we are serious about the role we play in addressing climate change.

Why Toitū Carbon Reduce Certification Matters

Toitū Envirocare is New Zealand’s leading environmental certification provider, trusted by businesses committed to meaningful climate action. Their carbon reduce programme, based on ISO 14064-1 — the international standard for greenhouse gas emissions measurement and reduction — gives us a science-backed framework to monitor and lower our climate impact.
With Toitū’s independent verification, our customers can be confident that our sustainability efforts are real, measurable, and aligned with global best practices.

Measurable Action, Long-Term Progress

Achieving certification required a detailed audit of our operations — including fleet fuel consumption, electricity use across our nationwide branches, logistics, and waste management systems. Establishing this baseline allows us to set clear, long-term emissions reduction goals.

Key initiatives already underway include:

• Upgrading to energy-efficient systems and technologies
• Reducing fuel use across our national vehicle fleet
• Optimising logistics to minimise unnecessary emissions
• Supporting our teams through training in sustainable practices

These efforts mark just the beginning of our long-term plan to support sustainable development across every aspect of our operations.

A Responsible Choice for Our Customers

As New Zealand’s premium moving and storage company, we’re committed to more than just delivering excellent service. Our Toitū carbon reduce certification gives customers the opportunity to make a more sustainable choice — without compromising on service.

For relocations within New Zealand or internationally, our customers can be assured that their move is managed by a company actively reducing its environmental footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.

Committed to Long-Term Sustainability

Certification is not the destination — it’s a key step on our sustainability journey. Our performance will be reviewed and audited annually by Toitū to ensure we’re meeting our reduction targets.

Looking ahead, we’re exploring further opportunities to reduce our impact, including:

• Integration of electric vehicle technology
• Smarter energy use across our facilities
• Enhanced waste reduction and recycling systems

Sustainable development is a long-term focus for NZ Van Lines, and we’re proud to set the benchmark for environmental responsibility in the New Zealand moving industry.
