We require each of our Suppliers to meet the highest standards for all goods and services. Our requirements include a commitment to performance outcomes and exceptional quality assurance.

We take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. Our strong and longstanding commitment to Lyttelton, mana whenua and surrounding communities, exemplifies this. LPC’s Sustainability Strategy, approved May 2019, addresses our commitment to communities.

LPCs commitment to improving our environmental impacts, influencing how we manage, reduce or eliminate those impacts which affects the environments we interact with. This commitment forms our approach to our environmental management effort and activities.
