Empowering Sustainability with Environmental Product Declarations
At The Roofing Store, we are steadfast in our commitment to transparency and environmental stewardship. This dedication is evident in our provision of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all our products. An EPD is a detailed document that outlines a product’s environmental impact throughout its lifecycle. It includes key information on raw material extraction, manufacturing processes, transportation, and end-of-life considerations.
By offering EPDs, we empower our customers to make informed decisions that align with their sustainability goals. Our mission goes beyond delivering high-quality roofing solutions. It also reflects our conscious effort to minimize our ecological footprint.
Explore our EPDs to discover the environmental credentials of our products. Together, we can build a more sustainable future while achieving superior roofing performance.
Driving Sustainability: NZGBC’s Vision for a Greener Future
The New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) is a non-profit industry organization with a clear vision. It aims to create a future where all homes and buildings in Aotearoa are green and sustainable. This vision supports healthier and happier communities across the nation.
NZGBC achieves this through several key initiatives:
Promoting Sustainable Building Benefits: Advocating for sustainable practices by establishing a shared language and highlighting their value.
Supporting and Educating the Building Sector: Providing the property and construction industries with the skills and knowledge needed to create a sustainable built environment.
Motivating and Rewarding Sustainability: Encouraging sustainable building development and recognizing achievements across New Zealand.
Established in July 2005, NZGBC became a member of the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) in 2006. This step aligned it with a global movement towards sustainability in the property sector and built environment. The WorldGBC, an international non-profit, drives this shift worldwide, supporting Green Building Councils in numerous countries.
As a proactive advocate for sustainability in New Zealand, NZGBC also takes responsibility for its greenhouse gas emissions. It is committed to operating in a low-carbon manner and contributing to national carbon reduction goals. This dedication reflects its broader mission of fostering a sustainable, low-carbon future.
The Green Roofing Store Report 2022
The Roofing Store is proud to support sustainability research at the University of Waikato. This partnership aims to create more environmentally friendly products for the New Zealand housing market. In addition, we are sponsoring PhD students at the University of Auckland. Their work focuses on thorough product testing and the development of sustainable roofing solutions.
Our goal is to become the leading sustainable roofing business in New Zealand by 2025. To achieve this, we are actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing of cold-formed steel products. At the same time, we aim to minimize operational energy use in buildings.
Through these efforts, we aspire to make a meaningful contribution to the Net Zero Carbon goal set by the New Zealand Government. This reflects our commitment to sustainability and our vision for a greener future.
