ZIWI has been recognized for its outstanding sustainability efforts as an Accredited Business by the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC). This recognition acknowledges ZIWI as a sustainably led brand driving positive impact for pets, people and the planet and is the only such certification available in the pet industry.
“We are thrilled to achieve accreditation from PSC. Over the past couple of years, we have made strides within the organization with first joining, then becoming ICON members, and becoming signatories of the Packaging Pledge. The mission and vision that PSC embodies and lives out every day greatly aligns with ZIWI’s ethos. As an ethically sourced New Zealand brand, we have been continuously in the pursuit of forging forward as sustainably as possible: from our kitchens, to our suppliers, within our offices, and in between. This is another step towards our ever evolving progress of leaving our planet a better place for people and their pets.” Jessica Krueger, Senior Marketing Manager
PSC envisions a thriving and collaborative pet industry that creates positive impact for the communities and environments where they do business. “In order to achieve the Pet Sustainability Accreditation, ZIWI completed a thorough assessment of its business operations and passed a rigorous third party verification process. Companies Accredited through the program demonstrate year over year improvement and are committed to business practices that are better for the world around us,” said Hannah Tirrell-Wysocki, Accreditation Manager for the Pet Sustainability Coalition.
