Te Tiaki Taiao

E mārama ana mātou kei tua atu i ā mātou mahi ā mātou pānga ki ngā wāhanga rerekē o tā mātou mekameka uara. Nō reira, kua whakatinanahia e mātou ngā mahi whakahaere mekameka tuku pakari e whai ana kia whakaitihia tō mātou tapuwae taiao, kia whakatairangahia te oranga hapori, ā, kia ārahi i te whanaketanga pumau i roto i te mekameka uara. E whai ana mātou ki te mahi tahi me ngā kaiwhakarato e whakaatu ana i te tautoko tahi ki ngā mahi haepapa, me te whakatenatena i a rātou kia whakapai tonu.

Ko te pumau o te hua ka tīmata mai i te hoahoa o te hua, nō reira ka whai mātou i ngā mahi whai hua hei whakauru i ngā whakaaro taiao ki roto i ā mātou hua kākahu hākinakina. Hei whakatutuki i tā mātou whāinga ki te whakaiti i te pānga taiao o ā mātou hua, kāore mātou e aro ki ā mātou ake mahi hanga, engari ki te whiriwhiri rauemi me te whakakorenga i te mutunga o te oranga.

Mō ngā rauemi mata, kei te piki haere tonu tā mātou whakamahi i ngā rauemi e pai ana ki te taiao i roto i ā mātou hua, me te aro atu ki ngā pānga taiao o ngā rauemi e whakamahia ana. Hei tauira, ko te hanga muka taiao e matua ana ki ā mātou mahi hanga kakahu ka nui te rauemi e pau ana, ā, ka arahi pea ki ngā parahanga taiao me ngā pānga hauora. Nō reira, kei te kaha mātou ki te whakamahi i ngā momo rauemi matomato, pērā i te miro waro, ngā rauemi tipu hangarua, me ngā rauemi pirau-koiora hei hanga i ā mātou hua kakahu me ngā hu. Kei raro nei ētahi tauira o ngā rauemi matomato me tā rātou whakamahinga hou i roto i ā mātou hua:

Haunga ngā rauemi matomato, ka whakauruhia hoki e mātou ngā ariā hoahoa matomato ki roto i ā mātou hua. Hei tauira, i hangaia e mātou ētahi wāhanga o ā mātou hu kia taea te wetewete kia ngāwari ai te hangarua e ngā kiritaki ngā wāhanga, kaua e maka tika atu, ā, ka whakaitihia te tapuwae taiao o ngā hua i te mutunga o te oranga.

E whakapau kaha ana mātou ki te whakarei ake i te pumau o ā mātou kākahu hākinakina mā te tūhura kaha i te whakamahinga o ngā rauemi hangarua me ngā rauemi koiora i roto i ā mātou hua. Hei whakarato i ngā kōwhiringa pumau ake ki ngā kaihoko, kei te whakauru mātou i ngā hua hou e pai ana ki te taiao i ia wā.

I te tau 2023, i whakawhanakehia e Xtep ngā hua hū e 11 e aro ana ki te taiao, e 5 i roto i te wāhanga hākinakina tae atu ki ā mātou hū oma whakataetae matua, me te 6 i roto i te wāhanga oranga. I angitu mātou ki te whakawhiti i ngā hua taiao e ahu mai ana i te koiora mai i te ariā ki te hanga papatipu, inā koa i roto i ā mātou hū oma whakataetae matua, me te whakatutuki i te peke mai i ngā ariā hoa-taiao ki te mahi. E harikoa ana mātou ki te kite i te urupare pai a ngā kaihoko ki ngā rauemi matomato me ngā ariā hoahoa o ā mātou hua, ā, ka noho tonu mātou ki te whakawhanake i ngā hua hoa-taiao mō ngā kaihoko.

Hei kamupene i roto i te umanga kākahu hākinakina, kei te mahi tonu mātou ki te whakatairanga i te oranga tonutanga puta noa i ā mātou mahi me te putea hua. Mā te whakatū kaupapa i roto i ā mātou whare hei whakarei ake i te whai huatanga o te pūngao, te whakaiti i te para, me te whakaiti i ngā tukunga, i whai mātou ki te hoahoa i ngā kākahu me ngā kākahu hākinakina me ngā pānga taiao iti iho i roto i ō rātou huringa ora. Mā te tūhura i ngā hoahoa hua auaha me ngā kaupapa whakahaere oranga tonutanga, ka whai mātou ki te mahi tika i runga i te huarahi e hangai ana ki te hiahia tipu haere o ā mātou kiritaki ki ngā waitohu e tiaki ana i te taiao.

Ko tā mātou Pūnaha Whakahaere Taiao, kua whakamanahia i raro i te ISO 14001, e whakarato ana i tētahi anga hanganga mō te aroturuki i te mahi taiao o ā mātou mahi o ia rā, me te whakarite kia tutuki katoa ngā ture taiao e kaha haere ana. Hei ārahi i ā mātou mahi whakapūmau, kua tautuhia e mātou ngā wāhi arotahi me ngā whāinga mō te tiaki i te taiao. Mō ētahi atu kōrero, tirohia te "Mahere Whakapūmau 10-Tau" i te wāhanga "Tā mātou Anga Whakapūmau me ngā Kaupapa".

Te Tiaki i te Taiao Taiao Hei kaihanga kākahu hākinakina, e mōhio ana te Rōpū ki te hiranga o te aro atu ki ngā mōrearea e pā mai ana i te huringa āhuarangi. Kei te arotake tonu mātou, kei te whakatinana hoki i ngā kaupapa whakahaere mōrearea āhuarangi kia noho mataara tonu ai ki te aro atu ki ngā pānga me ngā mōrearea e pā ana ki te āhuarangi puta noa i tā mātou pakihi.

Ko ngā mōrearea ā-tinana pēnei i te pikinga o te pāmahana o te ao, te whakarerekētanga o ngā tauira āhuarangi o te ao, me ngā āhuatanga huarere kino e auau ana, ka pā pea ki ā mātou mahi mā te whakararuraru i ngā mekameka tuku me te whakaiti i te kaha o ngā hanganga. Ka pā kino hoki ngā mōrearea whakawhiti mai i ngā huringa kaupapa here me ngā nekehanga manakohanga mākete ki ngā mahi. Hei tauira, ko te whakawhiti ā-ao ki ngā ōhanga waro-iti ka piki ake pea ā mātou utu whakaputa mā te haumi ki te pūngao pumau. Heoi, ka puta mai hoki i ēnei mōrearea ngā whai wāhitanga mā te whakawhanake i ngā hangarau me ngā hua hou hei whakautu ki te huringa āhuarangi.

E whakapau kaha ana te Rōpū ki te whakaiti i tō mātou tapuwae waro mā te whakapakari i te whakahaere pūngao me te tautoko i te whakawhiti ki tētahi heke mai iti-waro. E whā ngā whāinga kua whakatūria e mātou mō te whakamahinga pūngao tika, ā, e mahi ana mātou i ngā kaupapa maha hei wāhanga o ā mātou mahi tonu ki te whakatairanga i ēnei whāinga.

I whakapau kaha mātou ki te whakamahi i te pūngao ma i roto i ā mātou whare whakaputa. I tō mātou wheketere i Hunan, kua tāutahia e mātou he pūnaha photovoltaic solar me te whāinga ki te whakaiti i te whakawhirinaki ki te hiko kua hokona mai i te whatunga hiko, me te whakanoho anō hoki i a mātou ki te aromatawai i te whakawhānui ake i te whakaputanga hiko whakahou ki ētahi atu wāhi. I tō mātou wheketere i Shishi, kua tīmata mātou ki te whakamahere mō te whakatinanatanga o tētahi mahere whakamahi pūngao solar hei aromatawai i ngā huarahi ki te whakamahi i te whakaputanga hiko solar i te papaanga.

Mā te whakapai tonu i ā mātou whare o nāianei ka āwhina i te whakapai ake i te whai huatanga o te pūngao o ā mātou mahi. I whakakapia e mātou ngā rama puta noa i ā mātou wheketere ki ngā rama LED me ngā rama whakauru-pūoko nekehanga i roto i ngā whare moe. I whakapai ake te pūnaha whakamahana wai whare moe ki tētahi taputapu wai wera pūngao atamai e whakamahi ana i te hangarau papu wera e whakakahangia ana e te hiko hei whakanui ake i te whai huatanga o te pūngao. Ko ngā poiha katoa puta noa i ā mātou wāhi whakaputa e whakakahangia ana e te hau māori, e whakarei ake ana i te whai huatanga o te pūngao me te whakaiti i te parahanga o te hau me ngā tukunga hau kati kōtuhi. Ka mahia te tiaki auau ki ngā poiha hei whakaiti i te moumou rauemi pea mai i ngā taputapu tawhito, i ngā pakaru rānei.

I roto i tā mātou tukanga whakaputa, ko te tahunga o ngā wahie mō ngā taputapu pēnei i ngā poiha ka hua ake he tukunga hau. Kua huri mātou ki te whakakaha i ā mātou poiha ki te hau maori ma, kaua ki te hinu tīhiera, ā, ka iti ake ngā tukunga hau, ka pai ake hoki te whai huatanga o te wera. Hei tāpiri, ka tukatukahia ngā hau putanga mai i ā mātou tukanga whakaputa ki te waro whakahohe hei tango i ngā poke i mua i te tukunga ki te āhuarangi, ā, ka whakakapia i ia tau e ngā kaihoko whai tohu.

I whakahoutia e Palladium rāua ko K·SWISS te taupoki kohikohi hau putanga o te pūnaha tukatuka hau para, kia pai ai te mahi a ngā whare tukatuka. Hei tāpiri, kei te whakaarohia e mātou te whakawhanake i tētahi pūnaha pūrongo raraunga pūngao hei whakahohe i ngā tukanga kohikohi raraunga tukunga me te tatau paerewa, ka taea ai te whakapai ake i te tika o ngā raraunga me te hanga i tētahi pūnaha whakahaere tukunga hau pakari ake.

Ko te nuinga o te wai e whakamahia ana e te Rōpū ka puta i te wā o te tukanga whakaputa me ōna whare moe. Hei whakapai ake i te whai huatanga o te wai i ēnei wāhi, kua whakatinanahia e mātou ngā whakapainga tukanga me ngā mahi hangarua me te whakamahi anō i te wai hei whakaiti i te whakamahinga wai. Mā te tirotiro me te tiaki i ā mātou hanganga paipa auau ka whakarite kia pono te mahi a te pūnaha, ā, ka karohia te moumou rauemi wai nā te pakaru o ngā taputapu. Kua whakatikatikaina hoki e mātou te pēhanga wai o ō mātou wāhi noho, ā, kua tāutahia he taima hei whakahaere i te auau horoi o ngā wharepaku i roto i ō mātou wheketere me ngā whare moe, ka whakaitihia te whakamahinga wai katoa.

Te tukunga wai para
Kāore te kāwanatanga e whai i ngā whakaritenga motuhake mō ā mātou tukunga wai para, nā te mea he wai para kāinga kei roto he iti noa ngā matū. Ka tukuna e mātou aua wai para ki te whatunga wai para ā-tāone i runga anō i ngā ture ā-rohe i roto i ā mātou mahi katoa.

Hei kaihanga kākahu hākinakina haepapa, e whakapau kaha ana te Rōpū ki te whakarite i te haumaru o ā mātou hua me te whakaiti i te whakamahinga o ngā matū kino. E tino tutuki ana mātou i ā mātou paerewa ā-roto me ngā ture ā-motu e pā ana ki te whakamahinga matū i roto i ā mātou mahi katoa.

Kua rangahau mātou i ngā huarahi haumaru ake, me te whakaiti i te whakamahinga o ngā matū e āwangawanga ana i roto i ā mātou hua. I mahi tahi a Merrell me ngā kaihanga o ngā taputapu tae Bluesign mō te 80% o āna mahi hanga kākahu, ā, ko tā rātou whāinga kia neke atu i te ōrau teitei i te tau 2025. I whakapiki ake hoki a Saucony i tana whakamahinga o ngā kākahu ātete-wai kore-hauora ki te 10%, me tana whāinga kia 40% i te tau 2050.

He wāhanga nui anō hoki o tā mātou mahi te whakangungu i ngā kaimahi mō te whakahaere tika i ngā matū. Ka whakaratohia e Palladium me K·SWISS ngā wā whakangungu pakari hei whakarite kia mōhio ngā kaimahi ki te whakahaere matū haumaru. Hei tāpiri, kei te whai mātou kia whakapiki ake i te whakamahinga o ngā piripiri wai, hei kōwhiringa haumaru ake, iti iho hoki te poke, mō te neke atu i te 50% o ngā hanga hu i raro i tā mātou waitohu matua Xtep, me te pupuri tonu i te kounga teitei. Ko te ōwehenga o ngā whakahokinga me ngā whakawhiti e pā ana ki te koretake o te whakapiripiri i heke mai i te 0.079% i te tau 2022 ki te 0.057% i te tau 2023, e whakaatu ana i ā mātou mahi ki te arotau i te whakamahinga piripiri me te whakaiti i ngā take kounga.

Kua mahi mātou i ngā mahi hei whakauru i ngā kōwhiringa takai tauwhiro ake puta noa i ā mātou waitohu hei whakaiti i ngā pānga taiao e pā ana. Mō tā mātou waitohu matua Xtep, i whakakapia e mātou ngā tohu me ngā tapanga kounga ki ngā kākahu me ngā taputapu ki ngā rauemi e pai ake ana ki te taiao mai i te tau 2020. Ka whakaratohia hoki e mātou he pouaka hu me ngā kakau kawe hei whakaiti i te whakamahinga o ngā putea hokohoko kirihou. I te tau 2022, 95% o ngā pepa takai mai i K·SWISS me Palladium i whai tiwhikete FSC. Mai i te tau 2023, ka whakamahia e ngā pouaka o roto katoa mō ngā ota hua a Saucony me Merrell he rauemi e pai ana ki te taiao.

He tino tupato te Rōpū ki te whakahaere i ā mātou para me te whakakorenga tika. Ko ngā para kino mai i ā mātou mahi whakaputa, pērā i te waro whakahohe me ngā ipu poke, ka kohia e ngā rōpū tuatoru whai mana hei whakakorenga i runga anō i ngā ture me ngā whakaritenga ā-rohe. He nui ngā para whānui e puta mai ana i ā mātou wāhi noho kaimahi i te papaanga. E pupuri ana mātou i ngā mātāpono o te whakaiti, te whakamahi anō, me te hangarua puta noa i ngā whare noho me ngā whare hanga. Ka whakarōpūhia, ka hangaruahia hoki ngā para hangarua ki waenganui, ā, ka tohua ngā kaimahi kirimana o waho hei kohi me te whakakore tika i ngā para whānui kāore e taea te hangarua.
