NZQA is proud to be a Toitū Envirocare certified agency.
We have held the carbonreduce certification since the 2020-2021 reporting year.
This certification is awarded to organisations that measure, manage, reduce and report greenhouse gas emissions in line with Toitū requirements.
Toitū's climate impact programmes are accredited by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JASANZ), and meet ISO standard 14064-1.
Earning a Toitū certification involves following robust, internationally recognised practices for managing and tracking emissions.

Our sustainability goals
We're aiming for a 42% total emissions reduction in the 2029-2030 reporting year. To help reduce emissions and meet this target, NZQA is looking at how we can tackle some of our largest sources of emissions. These sources include air travel, office electricity consumption, waste to landfill, printing, freight and petrol consumption.
These efforts, along with other planned work to minimise our environmental impact, will help build an even more sustainable future for NZQA.
