We are Genia

We are committed to minimising our effect on the environment and our community by creating value for our customers by using less resources and striving for less waste.

ENVIRONMENT

We are constantly researching and introducing more effective ways of processing products. We invest in machinery that processes products more efficiently and consumes less power. We will only produce untreated shavings and sawdust in our processing operations with a goal to achieve zero waste with all timber waste being used to fuel kilns for drying products. We will only source our timber material for production from sustainable plantations and use recyclable material in our packaging wherever possible.

COMMUNITY

We want New Zealand to grow and prosper, and we are mindful of future stakeholders in generations to come and how they will interact with our business. We support our community with charitable projects and provide favourable employment opportunities.
