Early in 2017, Alsco joined with the exciting Million Metres Streams Project. It’s a three year partnership that will help transform New Zealand’s waterways. Million Metres is led by the Sustainable Business Network (SBN), in partnership with Alsco and DOC (Department of Conservation).

Million Metres aim is to support communities to replant one million metres of New Zealand waterways by 2026. Alsco is an SBN Member, joining more than 500 other businesses finding ways to change the way we work to put people and planet first.

Alsco is a large user of water and we want to do whatever we can to minimise our impact on the environment. Our support of the Million Metres initiative is a tangible and collective action by our teams nationwide that is creating a real social, environmental, and economic difference. We are really grateful for all the wonderful support and feedback from the wider Alsco family in relation to our contribution to Million Metres.

Each winter, Alsco staff will join Million Metres teams at planting days around the country. Last year more than 130 Alsco staff, family and friends from five branches got stuck in. Together they contributed more than 300 volunteer hours planting nearly 4000 native trees along 1500 metres of waterways.
