Sustainability

Allco contributes to sustainable architecture through transparency and thoughtful practice. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) give architects the data they need to report embodied carbon with confidence. As a carbon-conscious business and New Zealand Green Building Council member, we’re actively reducing emissions in our own operations and supporting improved environmental performance across the built environment.

OUR JOURNEY

At Allco Waterproofing Solutions, we are committed to continuously evaluating our business operations to uncover potential improvements and reduce our carbon footprint. As a leading supplier in New Zealand’s construction industry, we recognize our responsibility to both acknowledge and minimise our environmental impact. 

We achieved a 36.34% reduction in absolute emissions compared to our base year. This reduction is the result of several targeted strategies, such as consolidating shipments to reduce transportation emissions and optimising our operational efficiency.

We also reduced our carbon intensity—measured by emissions per Full-Time Equivalent employee—by 36% over the same period. This metric is crucial as it reflects our ability to lower emissions relative to our growth, ensuring that as we expand, our environmental impact decreases. 

Sustainability is a shared responsibility. We are committed to continuing our sustainability journey with these reduction targets:

  • By 2026: We aim to achieve a 3% reduction in both absolute emissions and carbon intensity by continuing to optimize our waste management, electricity usage, and travel practices.
  • By 2029: Our goal is to reduce both metrics by 5%, focusing on further improving our transportation and logistics processes, as well as reducing petrol usage.
  • By 2033: We plan to achieve a 7% reduction, marking a significant milestone in our long-term commitment to sustainability.

NZ Green Building Council

As an active member of the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) Allco encourages and supports the development and adoption of market-based green building practices aiming to provide better building methods and healthier environments.

Hydrotech believes construction is no longer just about building and development, it’s about being smart. That entails limiting the impact of the construction process on the very environment that nurtures us. This means building for the long term and catering to global needs and issues.

Hydrotech has developed products, systems and alliances that reflect their commitment to environmental sustainability. Along with producing one of  the industry’s best performing membranes, Hydrotech has also introduced some of the industry’s most sustainable waterproofing assemblies. For instance, our Hydrotech (Monolythic Membrane 6125® – MM6125®) is a hot-applied rubberised asphalt that can be formulated with a minimum 40% post-consumer recycled content.

Hydrotech assemblies feature recycled content in the membrane and reduced lifecycle costs due to project longevity (which also reduces its impact on landfills).

In short, Hydrotech has the solutions that fit long-term sustainability strategies building owners and operators are demanding of the products and assemblies they specify.
