Sustainability

Ekos helps develop and supports carbon projects that grow and protect forests in New Zealand and the Pacific islands.

Ekos connects carbon offset buyers with these products by measuring business and individual carbon footprints, supplying certified forest carbon offsets, and providing carbon certifications (Zero Carbon, Climate Positive, Carbon Footprint and Carbon Friendly Certifications).

BLAKE is proud to be certified Climate Positive Business Operations with Ekos. We have measured and offset 120% of our carbon footprint for all aspects of our operations for the 2021 financial year with certified carbon credits. These certified carbon credits are sourced from projects that grow and protect forests in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands and help to deliver climate resilience, waterways protection, erosion control, biodiversity conservation and community economic development. This is another massive step in our mission towards embodying environmental protection and sustainability as an entire organisation, and driving towards inspiring and empowering people to be kaitiaki o te taiao.
