We\u2019re wrapping up our Sustainable September Series<\/a> with the unveiling of the first KoruGreen<\/a> Annual Report. Sustainability is such an important part of what we do here \u2013 travel incentives are a vital element of what makes our programs work and are integral to the continued success of our client’s customer behaviour change and loyalty programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feeling is shared by our clients \u2013 the world around us is so important, and with the advancements in technology, we feel confident that we can now find ways to give back and repair environmental damage inflicted by humans for centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where 212F\u2019s KoruGreen initiative plays such a significant part in the world’s future. By developing KoruGreen, we support other ways of life, and we feel that our travel incentive packages appeal on so many levels to our clients. This also allows them and their customers to experience a variety of different cultures without impacting the natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, without further ado \u2013 let\u2019s review KoruGreen\u2019s goals, and see what we\u2019ve managed to accomplish with the help of our clients!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nKoruGreen Program Commitments \u2013 What It\u2019s All About\n<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>

Using the word \u2018Koru\u2019, which in M\u0101ori symbolises new beginnings, we decided in April of 2022 that we\u2019d like to bring to life a new vision and pathway to a better and sustainable future. The main pledge of the commitment was for 212F Group (212F, Incremental, uChoose, and iChoose Prepaid Visa Gift Cards NZ<\/a>) to be net zero across all travel and event programs by 2030 \u2013 at zero cost to our clients.<\/p>\n

We strongly believe in the \u2018zero cost\u2019 element; we want to demonstrate to our clients the value we place on the planet over dollars. If you\u2019re planning a travel or event experience, we will demonstrate how achievable this can be, with the cost impact 100% on 212F.<\/p>\n

This is essential, but so is the ‘wow’ factor in a travel incentive. We\u2019ll show you how to achieve net zero whilst still delivering to your guests the most beautiful, diverse parts of the earth that we\u2019re so committed to assisting as partners in the sustainability program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The way we \u2018offset\u2019 is by calculating the CO2e emissions from each program as it\u2019s developed using 212f’s KoruGreen Calculator. This calculator has been designed to estimate the impact of travel and event program emissions, which are the highest-emitting domestic and international activities that we manage.<\/p>\n

The kinds of aspects reviewed in this process are:<\/p>\n
