The Government has committed to moving towards a carbon neutral public service. The New Zealand Customs Service (Customs) is one of the 28 stage two core public service agencies that will be on the path to carbon neutrality by the year 2012.Reducing emissions is an important step in the context of carbon neutrality. Having measured the emissions, it is necessary to undertake reduction activities that will reduce emissions as much as practical and be cost effective. The remaining emissions will then be offset to make the core public service carbon neutral.The role of the reduction plan is to identify and record opportunities and initiatives that help to reduce emissions.
