Day for good

On the first Day for Good we focussed on clearing the waterway close to our global distribution centre on Penihana Place, Auckland. The health of the waterway and surrounding bush is fundamental to our local environment; however, it is currently overflowing with rubbish and rodents. Our intention is to help our native birdlife and delicate ecosystem to regenerate through setting rat traps, which reduce the number of predators, and clearing the rubbish away.

In nurturing a green space outside our offices, we hope to provide better conditions for our team and other residents in the area. We are grateful to the Mangere Otahuhu Local Community Board for supporting this project and contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Going forward, we will expand the Day for Good and provide team members with choices as to how they wish to give back. This could range from cleaning the seashore to planting community gardens and fruit trees. At James Dunlop Textiles we are passionate about strengthening the communities we live and work in, to create a future we can be proud of.
