Ethos + Environmental Footprint

Our work to protect our land

The Tree People’s constitution is based on community, business, and environmental sustainability. We unequivocally conduct business in ways that are beneficial for the trees, the people, and the planet. This distinguishes and differentiates us from similar companies and guides all our actions.

We are nationally renowned for our passion for the environment, and our commitment to the highest standards of arboricultural work. This expertise is trusted by Government departments to undertake work in highly sensitive environmental areas, and we are proud to have the technical arboricultural excellence to thrive in difficult environments.

The Tree People pride themselves in being leaders and innovators in sustainable vegetation management. We are proud to have a proven track record in waste mitigation, and have created clear guidelines, and goals to becoming carbon neutral.

The Tree People’s commitment to sustainability is inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These goals help drive our commitment to directly support local businesses, environmental initiatives, and also provide a sustainable future through protecting the health, safety, and well-being of our employees, and our communities.

Our central ethos

The Tree People’s central ethos is minimal environmental impact on all work sites:

  • All our vehicles are powered by biodiesel.
  • We use minimal compaction machinery when required e.g. machinery running on tracks.
  •  Biodegradable chain lubricant is used on all our chainsaws.
  •  Silt traps are used to prevent runoff during work.
  •  We minimize noise pollution at every opportunity, using electric chainsaws and sound insulated chippers.
  •  We are a national leader in tree transplanting, completing 150 transplants per year.
  •  We use GIS tree mapping software with client login functionality to help us accurately manage green assets in real-time. We use Fulcrum, which is used by several Christchurch City Council departments.
  •  We have planted 18000 trees over the last three years as part of our commitment to positive environmental outcomes.
