They utilise science-based tools, actions, and evidence to make real, measurable progress. Working together with environmentally minded and sustainability driven businesses such as Misco Joinery, Toitū focuses on the philosophy of working together to change and improve the future of our environment and economy.
What steps did Misco take to achieve Toitū Enviromark Gold certification?
Misco worked through Toitū’s three-tiered accreditation system, encompassing environmental management, certification, and reporting.
Using Toitū’s comprehensive environmental management system as a starting point, Misco developed, reviewed, and will continually improve our own custom systems to manage environmental aspects and impacts, including legislative considerations, health and safety, and emergency preparedness.

The implementation of our comprehensive environmental management system helps ensure that we continue to proactively do our part as a company, working towards creating a cleaner, safer and improved working environment, whilst also increasing business efficiency.

This focus on long-term sustainability includes the installation five years ago of 535 solar panels on our roof, one of the largest and most efficient solar farms in the country.
Our dedicated team of over 70 designers, optimisers, joiners, factory workers, accounts, production, and installation staff all take on board the responsibility of ensuring that the business is actively increasing our sustainability focus and best business practices. In doing so, Misco are taking credible steps toward a more sustainable future and helping to create a better environment.
