With ZIWI’s mission to “providing peace of mind to pet guardians around the world”, we knew that to do so, we needed to mind our environmental impact. ZIWI has already taken many steps to doing just that, with utilizing ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients in our recipes, partnering with farmers and suppliers committed to free-range farming practices, and implementing sustainable practices in our new super-kitchen Awatoto in Napier, New Zealand. We are excited about the next step towards furthering our mission while becoming the best environmental stewards we can be, by joining the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC) as a Guardian level member.
With this membership to the PSC, ZIWI is guided by the coalition, with being informed, inspired, and accelerated in our sustainability journey. This provides us with a wealth of resources to implement into our practices alongside performance assessments and recommendations so we may chart our sustainability roadmap and visualize the progress we are making.
The PSC embraces the vision of a thriving and collaborative pet industry that creates positive impact for the communities and environments where we do business with a mission of advancing business through profitable environmental and social practices. They hold their members and own team accountable to certain sustainable standards and promote continual improvements to be made as our industry evolves.
ZIWI takes its environmental impact very seriously and is the heart and soul of our new super-kitchen, Awatoto. This new kitchen features recycled and reclaimed wood furnishing, water collection systems to water and regrow nearby vegetation, and replanted native foliage to encourage repopulation of endangered birdlife, bees and insects. In addition, we have also added solar panels and innovative technology that cleans and purifies the air from our air dryers, ensuring they are free from odors and contaminants. This is just the start to a more sustainable step forward in efforts to minimize our environmental impact, and we are excited to partner with the PSC to help us along the way!
