We’ve witnessed many customers and designers enquiring about sustainability credentials. Will my choice help me get Responsible Products Value (RPV) points for Green Star projects? Is my decision positively servicing my environment and community?

 

 

SSC Chartered Membership aims to help businesses answer these questions and meet expectations. It also recognises any extra work being done by individual members to advance the sustainability of their operations in line with the SSC charter.

SSC Chartered Membership has been recognised as a criterion in the New Zealand Green Building Council’s Green Star (NZGBC) Responsible Products rating scheme.

The Green Star Building and Responsible Products Programme have changed, and SSC is currently working with Think Step-anz, the Australian Steel Institute, the Green Building Council of Australia, and the New Zealand industry, to redesign our audit scheme to be compliant with the new regime. The new audit is in testing phase now and we expect to submit the new scheme to Green Building Council in February 2025 for acceptance.

 

“We all need to play our part in sustainability… our vision with the journey to achieving SSC Chartered Membership is to help businesses identify areas that they can easily improve upon, whilst providing the resources and tools to help them get there.” Troy Coyle, CEO HERA and previous Chair SSC

HOW DO I BECOME SSC CHARTERED?

SSC Chartered membership is obtained through an audit process based on set criteria aligned with the SSC Charter, reflecting Treasury’s Living Standards Framework and relevant Sustainable Development Goals. Taking the journey to SSC Chartered Membership will enable businesses, especially SMEs, to build their skills and capacity.

We support members on the journey with a selection of specifical developed tools and resources available in the Knowledge Hub to complement the certification process. This will allow SMEs to be consistent with larger sector businesses and meet changing expectations of government and the business community.

TELL ME ABOUT THE AUDIT

 

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS?

Here’s what you can expect when you sign up as a member of the Sustainable Steel Council:

  1. First apply for acceptance as an SSC member using the form on this website
  2. The SSC Board will review and confirm your membership application at its monthly meeting (3rd Tuesday of each month).
  3. We will issue an invoice for membership at the introductory level of 50% of your membership category fee.
  4. If you are seeking the core SSC certification, the audit cost is included in your membership fee. If you are seeking a Green Star Responsible Products level accreditation, there is an additional charge of $1,000 plus GST, which reflects the additional support we provide for this level.
  5. On receipt of payment our auditor will be in touch with you to arrange a time to speak with you and set a date for your Sustainable Steel Certification audit.
  6. We will set up your user credentials to access the members section of the SSC website
  7. We will provide information about the audit criteria and information you will need, and we will discuss it with you. We recommend that new members dive straight in and get your first audit completed as soon as possible rather than delaying.
  8. After your audit result is approved, we will send you a Sustainable Steel Accreditation certificate along with logos you can use on your website and marketing material.
