Fletcher Building

The grindstone has been spinning for a few weeks now, as most of us are well and truly back to work for 2025. In this #fletcherflashbackfriday we go back to 1954, when Fletcher Holdings started the tradition of kicking off the year with the annual "Back to the Grindstone" event, complete with an actual grindstone —a playful nod to the saying about rolling up your sleeves and getting back to work, refocusing and diving into the year ahead. Pictured here - James (JC) Fletcher at the 1968 event, alongside this memorable piece of company history. Returning to work looks different for everyone—what’s your secret to starting the year strong? Let us know below! Image courtesy of the Fletcher Trust Archives - https://lnkd.in/gQffcNw

Te Heta Daniels is a true inspiration in #TeamFletcher. From the Pīpīwai bush to becoming a Certified Plant Supervisor at Firth, Te Heta’s professional journey reminds us that it isn't about knowing the outcome, it's about having the courage to #BeBold and take the first step. His hard work and determination to upskill and tackle new challenges is leading him to the top - recently graduating from our Whakatupu programme for Māori and Pasifika leaders. Harnessing our value of Be Bold, Heta's advice is simple: 'If I can do it, you can do it. Just give it a crack.' #BeBold #FletcherBuilding #StarAmongUs #TeamFB #Firth

Golden Bay is helping us lay the foundation for a sustainable future with their innovative journey towards decarbonisation at their Portland plant in Northland, New Zealand, where nothing is off the table in the search for alternative fuels. By replacing coal with alternative fuels like used tyres, expired Covid-19 tests, and wood waste, Golden Bay's efforts are diverting over 100,000 tonnes of waste annually (including 8 million car tyres since 2021!) and transforming it into essential building materials. Golden Bay is on track to displace more than 70% of coal use in the next six months, aiming for a remarkable 95% by 2030. Their key achievements include: ✅ 60% alternative fuel use, aiming for 95% by 2030 ✅ Producing EcoSure cement, NZ’s lowest carbon cement ✅ A fully circular process turning waste into the foundation of NZ’s infrastructure ✅ Investment in cutting-edge technologies like a $200m fuel system and high-powered shredders We are very proud of Golden Bay's efforts, which are not just groundbreaking for New Zealand, but also surpassing international targets - putting Golden Bay among the top global leaders in sustainable cement production. While decarbonisation is complex, we remain committed to bold innovation and collaboration to reduce emissions and address climate challenges, and working alongside Golden Bay who is leading the way toward a greener tomorrow.   Find out more about Golden Bay's quest to be coal-free in this article from Business Desk 👇👇👇 (article is via subscription) #Sustainability #SustainableFuture #ClimateAction #CoalFree #FletcherBuilding #GoldenBay #Business
