Bayfair Shopping Centre has been recognised as the most sustainable shopping centre in New Zealand, achieving a 4-Star Green Star performance rating by the New Zealand Green Building Council. This achievement underscores our commitment to sustainable management practices and innovative strategies aimed at reducing our environmental impact.  

We implemented several initiatives to achieve this rating including:

• promoting alternative transportation, including ridesharing, EV charging stations for vehicles and end-of-trip facilities for cyclists. A customer initiative, ‘Wednesday Challenge’, incentivised shoppers to choose sustainable modes of transport over cars 
• a new approach to waste management, replacing the bins in the 440-seat food court with a waste collection service that resulted in a 56% diversion of waste to landfill rate 
• an Environmental Management System plan ensuring environmental responsibility at every level, including use of non-hazardous cleaning products, regular procurement audits and staff training to ensure staff members are well-versed in sustainable procurement policies.
  
  

With the support of the joint owners, Dexus Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund and Fisher Funds, Bayfair is leading the way for a more environmentally responsible future.
