SUSTAINABILITY AT THE LODGES
Our place in the world is a taonga. Here at The Lodges at Transport World, we’re deeply committed to embedding practices that ensure we’re caring for our people and our place. We take sustainability seriously. We support initiatives such as the Tiaki Promise that enshrine these principles into our day-to-day operations.
How do we do that? Our guests will notice sustainability efforts in a number of ways. Take the toiletries we provide in each of our boutique apartments. We use amenities that are part of the Beyond Skin Deep initiative. This initiative aims to achieve zero bathroom amenity waste. Not only does the initiative recycle plastic bottles, transforming them into fenceposts used by New Zealand’s agricultural industry. Bathroom soap waste is recycled into hygienic new bars, which are distributed to vulnerable communities: improving sanitation, saving lives, and making a meaningful difference to the whole community.
But thoughtful touches in our kitchens are just as earth-conscious.
We use Nespresso pod coffee machines: and we love the ‘sustainable consumption’ philosophy that believes small acts can have meaningful, positive impacts. Nespresso gives its coffee capsules a second life. The aluminimum it uses for its pods are part of a programme that means every capsule is infinitely recyclable.
While we continually strive to make improvements that will ensure the footprint we leave behind is as light as possible, we always welcome guest feedback to assist us.
