More Than a Certification
At Clean Planet, we believe your business should reflect what you care about.
That’s why we’re proud to share that our Auckland Head Office is now officially Toitū Net Carbon Zero certified – a meaningful milestone that reflects not only our environmental commitment, but the kind of future-focused business you can be proud to own.
This isn’t just about ticking a sustainability box. It’s about leading with integrity, earning customer trust, and being part of something bigger. When you partner with Clean Planet, you’re not just joining a cleaning brand; you’re joining a movement toward healthier homes, communities, and a more sustainable Aotearoa.
What is Toitū Net Carbon Zero Certification?
Toitū is Aotearoa’s leading authority on carbon and environmental certifications. Their Net Carbon Zero programme is internationally recognised, based on the ISO 14064-1 standard. It requires organisations to:
- Measure their greenhouse gas emissions
- Take meaningful steps to reduce them
- Offset the remainder with high-quality, verified carbon credits
At Clean Planet, we’ve done just that. Our Head Office has undergone a full carbon audit, implemented emission-reducing practices, and invested in globally accredited carbon offsets to achieve net zero. It’s a transparent, science-led certification that brings real accountability.
That means when customers choose your services, they’re choosing a provider whose impact has been verified, not just promised. You’re part of a cleaning brand that’s taking real action, backed by proof.
A Certification That Supports Your Success
In today’s world, purpose matters. And people are choosing brands that reflect their values, brands that do more than just deliver a service.
Clean Planet’s Toitū certification gives you more than a strong brand name – it gives you a platform to build a business with heart and impact.
Here’s how Clean Planet’s Toitū certification helps set you apart:
✔️ Customers know they’re supporting a company making measurable change
✔️ You stand out as a leader, not just a service provider
✔️ Access business clients and contracts that prioritise sustainability in procurement
✔️ Build lasting relationships with health- and eco-conscious households and businesses
✔️ Run a business you can feel genuinely proud of and contributes to a better future
This certification reflects the kind of business we’re building, and you’ll be a vital part of it.
Turning Commitment into Everyday Action
Clean Planet’s Toitū certification is a major step forward, but it’s only one piece of our broader commitment to sustainable leadership. When you join Clean Planet, you’re stepping into a system where every part of the business has been thoughtfully designed to reduce impact and deliver value.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
🌿 Sustainable Packaging Programme
We’ve developed a closed-loop product container system – ensuring that bottles and packaging are returned, refilled, and reused across the franchise network. Less waste. Less cost. More responsibility.
🌿 BioGro Certified Organic Products
Used throughout our residential and commercial services, these products are certified organic and free from harmful chemicals – better for the environment, better for the people you serve.
🌿 Sensitive Choice Accreditation
We’re proud to be a Sensitive Choice partner. This means many of our products and practices are recognised as safer for people with asthma, allergies, and sensitivities – a huge selling point for families and workplaces alike.
🌿 Street Clean-Up Initiatives
Franchisees have the opportunity to lead and participate in community clean-up efforts, improving local environments while building brand visibility and goodwill.
🌿 Sustainable Business Network Member
As active members, we stay informed and accountable – adopting best practices and collaborating with other sustainability-focused businesses across New Zealand.
All these initiatives are part of our integrated, values-driven approach. When you become a Clean Planet franchisee, you don’t have to create this from scratch – you’re stepping into a ready-made system that supports you and the planet.
Looking Ahead: The Future You’re Part Of
We’re not stopping here. Our Toitū certification is just the beginning of a larger journey – we’re already working to expand carbon emissions measurement and reduction across our wider operations, and as a franchisee, you’ll play a key role in that transition.
“This certification is just the beginning. We’re committed to expanding our sustainability practices across the network, and our franchisees will be a key part of that journey,” says Tony Pattison, CEO of Clean Planet.
This means you’ll benefit from stronger systems to help reduce waste and emissions locally, ongoing sustainability training and support, and being part of a network that’s continuously evolving to meet the future with confidence and purpose.
