ESG at The Rent House
At The Rent House, we are committed to operating as a socially responsible organisation, contributing positively to the broader community and environment beyond typical business transactions. Our dedication to Environmental Social Governance (ESG) embodies our core values and principles.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Environmentally Conscious Operations
Our offices prioritise sustainable and eco-friendly practices, recognizing the importance of reducing our environmental impact. We encourage remote work to minimize our carbon footprint and maintain a paperless office environment, storing all files securely on cloud-based systems to reduce paper usage significantly.
Eco-Friendly Supplies
We procure biodegradable, eco-friendly, and recyclable office supplies and utensils to reduce our ecological footprint.
Social Engagement and Community Support
Community Housing Partnerships
We have cultivated strong relationships with Social and Community Housing Providers, including organizations like Kahui Tu Kaha, a Ngati Whatua organization, and the Ministry of Social Development. Through these collaborations, we support transitional and emergency housing initiatives, aiming to address the housing crisis in New Zealand.
Equal Opportunity Employer
The Rent House is committed to maintaining a fair, inclusive workplace. We ensure that our New Zealand-based staff are paid well above the living wage, and we proudly hold accreditation as a Living Wage Employer. Our hiring practices adhere strictly to equal opportunity principles, and we do not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, age, disability, or other factors

Social Responsibility Programs
We align ourselves with supplier partners and collaborations that have robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies in place, ensuring a commitment to ethical practices throughout our network.
