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.
