Sustainability

We’re committed to making a positive impact on our people, our communities, and the environment.

We believe that doing business responsibly is simply the right thing to do. 

We understand that our operations have a wider reach. The way we work influences the wellbeing of our team, the strength of the communities we’re part of, and the environment we all share. That’s why we’re focused on making those impacts as positive, responsible and sustainable as possible.

Our approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is centred on areas that we can drive real change, create long-term value while doing what’s right for the world around us.

OUR ESG COMMITMENTS

Environment

We’ve partnered with Toitū to achieve Carbon Reduce Certification, demonstrating our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Social

We believe in doing right by people – our team, our industry and our communities. We take a lot of pride in giving back to the communities we’re part of.

Governance

Good governance is about making smart decisions, doing the right thing, and staying accountable at every level of the business.

Enviroment

We’ve partnered with Toitū to achieve Carbon Reduce Certification under ISO 14064-1, demonstrating our commitment to a low-carbon future and ongoing environmental responsibility.

We’re actively measuring our greenhouse gas emissions and have strategies in place to manage and reduce our impact, using the Toitū framework as our guide. Our compliance is independently verified each year to maintain certification.

Social responsibility

We believe in doing right by people – our team, our industry, and our communities.

From supporting local clubs and national charities to providing transport, uniforms, or our BBQ trailer for fundraising events, we stay actively involved in causes that matter and bring people together.

We’ve built a “Safety First” culture where looking out for each other is second nature. All team members have access to the Health Now benefit programme, leadership development pathways, and ongoing driver and compliance training to support success – both on and off the road.

Governance

Good governance is about making smart decisions, doing the right thing, and staying accountable at every level of the business.

We maintain best-in-class cybersecurity systems to protect our people, partners, and data. Our Booth’s 101 Code of Ethics sets the standard for how we operate – with integrity, transparency, and professionalism.

We work with independent external auditors to ensure objectivity and compliance, and we uphold high standards across health, safety, and quality. As an active member of the Business Leaders’ Health and Safety Forum, we’re also helping to improve performance across the wider industry.

“They’ll often be in a tight situation but will always keep the door open and say they’ll come back to us in the afternoon with what they can come up with. And then they come back to say, yes, they can cover it.”

“We find ways around obstacles, not ways to walk into them. Something we’ve got to go around, as opposed to being stuck behind.”
