Our Sustainability Journey

At Echo, sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s an ongoing journey. We’re committed to redefining the lifecycle of technology by providing secure, transparent, and accessible ways to repurpose or recycle electronics across New Zealand. Now, as a certified Climate Positive company, we’re taking our commitment even further - ensuring that our operations not only reduce environmental impact but also actively contribute to a greener future for all New Zealanders.

Together with Ekos, we have completed our first Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions inventory, by measuring and offsetting 120% of our carbon footprint for baseline year 1st April 2023 – 31st March 2024. We are proud to have achieved Climate Positive certification for our business operations, reinforcing our market-leading dedication to going beyond compliance and driving meaningful environmental change.

As part of our commitment to becoming a certified Climate Positive business, Echo voluntarily measures and offsets its carbon footprint through high-impact, nature-based projects. In addition to reducing our operational emissions, we invest in certified carbon credits that support long-term carbon capture and ecosystem restoration.

One of the projects we proudly support is the Drawa Rainforest Conservation Project—an award-winning, community-owned initiative on Vanua Levu, Fiji. This project protects 4,120 hectares of tropical rainforest that sequesters carbon, preserves biodiversity, and builds climate resilience. Led by the indigenous landowners of Drawa, the initiative prioritises conservation over logging, generating sustainable income through carbon credits and forest honey production. It is a powerful example of climate action that delivers both environmental and social benefits.
