Our Zero Carbon Journey
Since 1988 we’ve been delivering wellness. For us, delivering well starts and ends with nurturing the wellbeing of people and planet. That’s why we’re Zero Carbon certified with Ekos, and have consciously chosen to offset our emissions through local NZ native forests.
Treading gently and regenerating the land that nurtures our community and native species is at the heart of our vision.
Thanks for choosing well and helping restore biodiversity across Aotearoa. You’re making a healthy difference.

Why do we offset our carbon locally?
Native flora & fauna regeneration
Bringing back wildlife to our backyard. So far, we’ve planted 16,000+ native trees to regenerate habitat, and reintroduced threatened seabirds to the safety of the Wharariki Ecosanctuary.
Community wellbeing
Because nature’s best. Thanks to a team effort of conservation enthusiasts, local volunteers, and team members, we all get to enjoy the benefits of our beautiful, shared environment.
Climate impact
Restoring biodiversity in our region has a big and long-term climate impact. They may be slow growing, but many of the native trees we’re planting will store carbon for decades and even centuries to come.

Regenerating nature since back in the day
2010: First local tree planting
“We began regenerating nature in our local community of Mohua Golden Bay with our first team tree planting. We planted 500 rimu trees at Milnthorpe Park, where land is recovering from fire. It felt so good to work together for local biodiversity and community wellbeing, that we decided to make it an annual event.”
– Lucy Butler, Sustainability Lead
Did you know:
13 years on, we’ve planted more than 16,000 trees as a team, and today those rimu seedlings have grown tall and are storing carbon in their trunk, branches, and roots.
2011: Solar-paneled warehouse opens
With orders growing every day, we put solar panels on the roof of our warehouse to reduce our carbon footprint. In the first few years these panels provided more than half of our daily power usage.
Did you know:
Today, 22% of our power is generated through our 72 solar panels and we have an established native garden of kowhai, harakeke, rātā and pūriri.
2014: Our own local carbon forest
We established our own 10.6 hectare block of regenerating indigenous forest in the Bainham Valley, just 15 minutes from our warehouse.
Did you know:
Among the naturally regenerating kānuka, mamaku and rātā, we’ve planted rimu, kaihikatea and tōtara that will continue storing carbon for hundreds of years.
2017: Nature Trust is born
With a vision to create an ecosanctuary for native species to thrive at the top of the South Island, we work to regenerate nature at Wharariki-Farewell Spit - planting thousands of trees over and above our carbon offsetting.
“The HealthPost Nature Trust has not only has had a positive ecological effect but has also recreated a community of conservation minded people.”
- Andrew Lamason, Department of Conservation, Golden Bay
2018: Carbon Neutral brands
So you can shop by your ethical values, we launch Shop Your Way and celebrate our carbon neutral supplier brands. We begin actively working with our brands to positively guide them to measure and account for their carbon footprint.
“We believe it's so important to challenge, question and collaborate with businesses throughout your supply chain, like HealthPost does. Just one question or suggestion could influence positive change.”
- Abbie Tebbutt, Chia Sisters
2020: Zero Carbon certified with Ekos
We become officially Zero Carbon certified business operations with Ekos who develop new best practice methodology for measuring emissions on our parcel deliveries – which make up almost 90% of our overall carbon footprint.
“Through improving data quality HealthPost are actively encouraging their brand partners to measure their carbon footprints and influencing positive change in their industry and supply chain.”
– Kent Barrett, Ekos
2022-2023: Kahiwi Carbon forest
Connecting with our neighbouring land in the Marlborough Sounds, we begin investing in the Kahiwi Carbon Farm – a premium indigenous forest project on Arapaoa Island.
“There are gecko, skinks and butterflies living in the carbon forest, and it is part of a program to make Arapaoa safe for the reintroduction of kiwi. Its nearest neighbour is Long Island, where the HealthPost Nature Trust team collect fluttering shearwater chicks to thrive at the Wharariki Ecosanctuary.”
Peter Butler, Kahiwi Director and Chair of the HealthPost Nature Trust

What’s ahead:
Blue Carbon for climate action
Did you know coastal ecosystems may sequester up to 10 times the carbon of land-based forests?
Golden Bay has an estimated 25% of the total seagrass meadows in Aotearoa, so we’re supporting the Tasman Environmental Trust’s ‘Core & Restore’ project to explore this area’s carbon storage potential.

Your carbon questions answered
How does HealthPost measure its carbon footprint and what does it offset?
To become Zero Carbon certified with Ekos, we carefully measure our carbon footprint and offset direct and indirect emissions arising from our business operations and parcel deliveries. HealthPost’s total Greenhouse Gas Emissions for the 2023 financial year were 879.16 tonnes of CO2e.
Our major emissions for FY23 were:
- 73% Upstream freight emissions (15% reduction from previous year)
- 11% Fuel and energy related emissions (3.6% reduction from previous year)
- 8.6% Staff commuting (first year measuring emissions from staff commuting)

How are HealthPost’s carbon emissions offset?
We offset our carbon emissions using government-verified native forest projects in Te Tauihu (top of the South Island). Since 2022, we’ve invested in the Kahiwi Carbon Farm on Arapaoa Island in the Marlborough Sounds, an important regeneration project supporting predator trapping and working towards kiwi reintroductions in the outer Sounds. We also generate a small proportion of our credits from our own ETS-registered ‘HealthPost Carbon Farm’, regenerating native bush here in Mohua Golden Bay.
How does HealthPost plan to offset carbon emissions in the future?
We recognise that climate change and biodiversity loss are inextricably linked. We will continue to offset unavoidable emissions on our operations and deliveries through local indigenous forest projects that provide habitat for native species. The Kahiwi Carbon Farm, for example, is near the Kokomohua Marine reserve, where the pakahā chicks begin their journey to the Wharariki Ecanctuary here in Mohua Golden Bay. We’ll keep taking climate action in a way that regerates nature to help vulnerable flora and fauna to thrive.
