3Fish has been born out of a
desire to create a commercially successful company, leveraging (but not
replicating) previous experience in a manner that "does the right
thing", that is something to be proud of, feel good about and have a
bit of fun with. When our kids ask us about global warming,
environmental degradation, child labour and sweatshops we would like to
say that we did something to make a difference. "We would like to
create a company that other people want to work for and be proud to be
associated with, and presume that we will attract people with a strong
moral compass", says Marty Dillon, Managing Director, 3Fish . The idea of leading industry change appeals to the 3Fish
team; "doing things a bit differently in an industry (particularly from
a supply perspective) that has been doing things in the same way for
many years. 3Fish aims to be
the industry benchmark for ethical sourcing. We want to create an
easily recognisable brand in the market place that represents ethically
sourced merchandise", says Natalie Dillon, Marketing Director, 3Fish .
It is expected that other suppliers will, over time, attempt to say
that "we can do that too". However, as market leader, and sole
specialist in this area 3Fish
aims to offer an unmatchable "authenticity guarantee" supported by an
independent audit trail. Philosophically, and hopefully, over the years
ethical sourcing becomes commonplace in the mass market and so by
having cool, funky design fundamental to the business, 3Fish will continue to provide innovative sourcing concepts to clients.
3Fish
combines extensive global promotional marketing and sourcing experience
with a certification and auditing program that ensures environmental,
social and economic sustainability, and traceability back to the
source. When our kids ask us about global warming, environmental
degradation, child labour and sweatshops let's all say that we did
something to make a difference. Recognise right now that every one of
our purchasing decisions has a ripple effect around the globe and
choose merchandise that you can truly be proud of and feel good about
at every level. It is time to make smart decisions about our
promotional marketing spend and take responsibility for the end results
of our demand. The inconvenient truth is no longer acceptable. Every
dollar you spend has the power to invoke change. 3Fish is all about merchandise with cool design that makes a difference...let's change the world and have some fun doing it...

Mercure Hotels offer quality 3.5-4 star accommodation to make your
stay away from home as comfortable and convenient as possible.
Mercure is part of the Accor group, a European leader and major global player in travel, tourism and corporate services.
Mercure Hotels have engaged the Carbon Reduction Institute (CRI) to
consult on the group’s Carbon Neutral conferencing program launched in
2008 – ‘Mercure Meetings’. To enable Mercure Hotels to offset the
emissions from their conferences, CRI provided the hotels with a
conference calculator that takes into account emissions from energy
usage such as heating, lighting and cooking; as well as food and
stationery provided at the conferences.
Providing those calculators will give the Mercure Hotels a
significant competitive edge over other, emissions intensive conference
venue providers.
The Carbon Reduction Institute is proud to partner with Mercure in New Zealand for the first nation-wide carbon neutral meeting offering from a major hotel chain.
The Mercure Meetings offering is specifically designed to measure and offset the greenhouse gas footprint produced by each meeting service. Each Mercure hotel then funds the cost of the offsets and will not pass them on to you.
The Carbon Reduction Institute in conjunction with Mercure calculates the emissions from the following:
- energy used to heat, cool and ventilate the venue
- electricity consumed by lighting and AV equipment used
- emissions embodied in the food and beverage packages supplied for the event
The emissions from these services are calculated based on the running sheet of the event using published life cycle data, an input/output analysis of the New Zealand economy and emission factors provided by industry bodies, universities and the Ministry for the Environment. These emissions are then offset using carbon credits that are certified under the internationally recognised Voluntary Carbon Standard.
Currently the offsets will be funding the ‘Household Energy Efficient Lighting Project’ (HELP), implemented by Energy Mad (a New Zealand based company). With the aim to lessen climate change through economical energy savings, Energy Mad have partnered with electricity networks and retail outlets encouraging consumers to purchase the Ecobulb (Australasia’s highest performance energy saving bulb) at a heavily discounted rate. By installing Ecobulbs to replace incandescent light bulbs, the initiative leads to a direct reduction in fossil fuel electricity generation and reduces consumer’s electricity bills and wastage in our landfills.
What is not included in the emissions calculation is the travel by attendees to get to and from the event as well as any material brought in by the event organisers. The emissions from these sources are often the largest contributor to the total emission of an event, therefore the total event should not be referred to as carbon neutral unless these emissions have been calculated and offset.

possible work environment for our consultants. This is reflected in our

into the firm and foster an equal opportunity and lucrative environment

conditions in all of these areas.
Each of our industry groups is led by an experienced ‘Partner’ working with a team of Consultants and Researchers. Our Consultants are industry specialists, each focusing exclusively on one sector of the market. We believe that an industry specific approach gives us an in-depth understanding of the changing market trends, technologies and human capital within each industry resulting in a superior level of service to our customers.
At first glance our approach may seem procedural and prescribed; however our usual approach is friendly and informal. We find that the demands on business are often extremely high; however you do not need your adviser to become another problem... unless of course your undivided attention is required.
The way we maintain a relaxed approach is by dealing with the hard questions often, this way complexity becomes the norm and your near disaster will often turn into a welcome coaching session or time out from a demanding schedule.
Our experience may come from a number of areas; formal training, updates, seminars, ad hock research, or even an unrelated client, in all likelihood we are dealing with needs similar to yours right now.... if we haven't come across a new problem we would be delighted to assist.
Our vision is a world where all products are manufactured with a “cradle to cradle” approach. This means considering the environmental impact at every stage of the product lifecycle, from manufacture to disposal, with the intention to minimise the use of natural resources at every stage.
With technology advancement in recycled and recyclable material there is no reason why we have to choose items made from cheap virgin materials that can only be used once. Collectively this method will significantly reduce the amount of rainforests being destroyed, it can ensure people are treated kindly in their work and ultimately can educate the next generation to do better than we have.

In early 2009, Rubik commissioned the Carbon Reduction Institute to
undertake a complete carbon footprint audit on the business to see what
actions can be taken to reduce the impact Rubik's operations have on
climate change. The audit included emissions from electricity usage,
flights taken by Rubik staff; fuel usage and waste; staff work travel
and staff commuting from and to work; and embodied emissions in Rubik's
assets and expenses items.
Rubik now purchases carbon credits from the Karnataka Renewable Energy
Project
in India to offset their emissions. These carbon carbon offsets are
accredited under the Voluntary Carbon Standard and have been
third-party audited by DNV. The Project has been registered under the
United Nations Clean Development Mechanism since 2007. To find out more
about the credits Rubik purchases to offset its emissions please click here.
By
undergoing regular quarterly emissions monitoring and annual
re-auditing, Rubik can now claim that it is a truly carbon neutral
business.
SACS Consulting
has now also taken a best practice approach to the environment. The
company certified NoCO2 – or carbon neutral –
with the Carbon Reduction Institute in August 2007.

credits from the HELP project to offset any unavoidable emissions,
while progressively striving towards lowering their company's carbon
footprint.
By certifying NoCO2,
SACS has made a premium commitment to the environment. We congratulate
the team at SACS Consulting for accounting for all its greenhouse gas
emissions and making a real difference for the environment.
