Sustainable building & work practices.

 

Working with the whole team at Ceres Organics to modernise their way of working as they upgraded to new purpose-built premises (1000m2) and warehouse facility (4500m2) in Auckland’s Mt Wellington was a pleasure from start to finish.  “In so many respects our new building has met and exceeded our expectations,” he says. “It’s good for our bottom line, for our staff, for our customers and for the environment.”

The new office which fittingly, for an organically-certified and Eco-Social-certified company embraces the latest in sustainability design and staff work practices. “Everything from the building materials, carpet and installation, to the windows, fittings and even the building positioning has been chosen with minimal environmental impact and optimal energy efficiency in mind.

“While all these building features may sound like corporate jargon, they are in fact the very expression of our eco-friendly culture.”



This award winning project was awarded the Industrial Property Award at the Property Council New Zealand Awards, June 201.
 
Emphasis on Staff

 Ceres employs 80 staff at their Mt Wellington premises (110 in total) and the wellness of employees was a prime consideration during the design of the building while moving to the open plan workstyles.
