What is Toitū Gold Certification?
Toitū is New Zealand’s leading environmental certification program, helping businesses measure, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint. Gold certification means we’ve gone beyond basic compliance—we’ve embedded robust environmental management systems and made sustainability a core part of our operations.
Sustainable Construction with SaveBOARD
We use SaveBOARD, an innovative material made from upcycled waste, reducing landfill waste and promoting a circular economy.
Solar Energy – Powering 80% of Our Operations
Our large solar energy system helps us cut emissions and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
90% Plastic Waste Recycling
We divert 90% of our plastic waste through SaveBOARD, ensuring plastic byproducts get a second life instead of ending up in landfills.

Reusing & Repurposing Waste in Our Community
Why Toitū Certification Matters
Toitū sets high standards for environmental responsibility, ensuring businesses:
Monitor and reduce emissions & waste
Improve energy efficiency
Meet strict environmental compliance standards
Commit to long-term sustainability goals
The Toitū enviromark program aligns with internationally known ISO 14001 (environmental management) standards.
At Saito, our commitment to sustainability is powered by a unique partnership that spans global, national, and local levels. Through our collaboration with EKOenergy, an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable renewable energy, we ensure that our energy usage meets globally recognized environmental standards. This partnership allows us to contribute to global conservation efforts and supports new renewable energy projects around the world. Nationally, SupaPwr, a New Zealand-based energy retailer, has been instrumental in installing and managing our solar array at the Kerepehi site, helping us generate clean energy locally. Together with Supapwrs Community Energy program, we are able to share excess solar power with our Onehunga site and beyond, ensuring we optimize our renewable energy use. This innovative, multi-level collaboration showcases our ongoing dedication to reducing our carbon footprint and supporting a sustainable future for all.
