Ekos Carbon Certified

We like to run our business light on Carbon, just as we encourage our clients to do.

To continue on our mission to create a truly regenerative Aotearoa, we hold ourselves accountable to ensure we don’t create a negative impact on the world through the way we operate. A part of everything we do - we measure and report.

We recently completed a carbon assessment of ahha as a business through Ekos to determine our environmental impact. We were certified as a Net Zero Carbon Lite Organisation.

The Benefit to You: Managing Your Indirect Emissions Through Our Direct Actions

When you choose ahha architects, you're not just getting exceptional design; you're gaining a partner who is proactively managing their own environmental footprint. Our direct emissions – such as the energy we use in our office or the fuel for our company vehicles – become part of your indirect (Scope 3) emissions if we're part of your supply chain.

Scope 3 emissions are all indirect emissions - not included in scope 2 - that occur in the value chain of the reporting company. For our clients, this means that every decision we make to reduce our carbon footprint directly contributes to lowering your overall environmental impact.

By partnering with a Net Zero Carbon Lite Organisation like ahha, you can:

• Reduce Your Own Carbon Footprint: Our commitment to low-carbon operations directly lessens the Scope 3 emissions associated with your projects, making it easier for you to meet your own sustainability goals.
• Enhance Your Sustainability Reporting: Knowing that your architectural partner is rigorously managing their emissions provides verifiable data that strengthens your own environmental reporting and credentials.
• Align with Best Practices: Working with us demonstrates your commitment to partnering with environmentally responsible suppliers, aligning your business with leading sustainability practices.
• Simplify Your Supply Chain Management: We take the burden of our emissions management off your shoulders. You can trust that our operations are already optimized for minimal carbon impact.

In essence, our internal carbon accountability translates directly into a tangible benefit for you. When you work with ahha, you're confidently choosing a partner whose direct actions help you build a more sustainable future.
