Sustainability"These days there's a lot of talk about sustainability, but at Wisker sustainability is fundamental to the way we do everything."
Painting is a dirty business. At Wisker Contracting we are committed to using new sustainable technology and products which will help tidy up our business, our industry and our planet. The damage the human race has done to the environment can no longer be ignored which is why all of us at Wisker Contracting are committed to operating sustainably.
Put simply, sustainability means being a better business Sustainability is more than just taking care of the environment: it means approaching business with a long term vision and the goal of remaining economically viable indefinitely. That means we know where we're going and have a strategy to get there that includes keeping an eye on what's happening around us, managing risk so we won't get caught out and being prepared to evolve and change with the world around us. It means building positive external relationships, bringing in the right people, taking full responsibility for our actions and acting in accordance with our values. |
We would like to thank you for completing the painting and decorating of our Ohoka home - at all times you treated our home with respect and your attention to detail cannot be faulted. |
What are we doing?
While we're just one small company, we're committed to taking full responsibility for our environmental impact. It's a journey, and we have a way to go, but we've started on a process of continual improvement.
For example, even cleaning paint rollers at the end of each day wastes more than 15 litres of water per roller - over a 12 month period that means millions of litres of our world class drinking water is contaminated and wasted. We decided to do something about it, so we designed and built the Wiskaway which cleans paint rollers using recycled water to keep waste out of the environment and water use to a minimum.
This is just one example of what we're doing, and we'd love to tell you more about our plans to be part of making Canterbury the place it needs to be.
Our commitment to sustainability benefits everyone we work with.
Our current and future customers:
We'll do a clean job and leave things better than we found them but our commitment to sustainability means that we're supporting and not negating your own actions. It also means that we're a stable and secure business that will still be in business when you need us in the future.
Our professional network:
Our commitment to sustainability means your clients will be glad you chose to work with us and we'll support and not detract from your own commitment to sustainability. It also means you can be confident we'll always be around when you need us and we'll see every job to completion. It means people want to work for us and our existing team plan on staying with us so you'll get a close-knit and experienced team on the job and if we need to hire people for a big project it's easy to get the best tradies out there.
Our employees:
We operate a work environment that's as clean and healthy as possible, we run a tight ship with good systems which means everything goes according to plan and we're in business for the long haul which gives you stability and security. At the same time you can be proud to work for a company that has bigger priorities than just making money, you'll be respected and liked by our customers and the community and be envied by other tradies.
Our suppliers:
Wisker is well run, efficient and has a competitive edge that will only become stronger which means we're a customer that you can count on to be around for the long haul.
