A small part in a big world

Bluestone partners with Habitat for Humanity, a global charity dedicated to helping people into their own home – which is at the heart of Bluestone’s purpose. We actively encourage our people to get involved. Our employees get one paid volunteer day a year, when they might help build local homes, support bushfire recovery efforts, or renovate a local women’s shelter.

Through our workplace giving program, employees have the opportunity to make pre-tax salary donations to Habitat for Humanity, which fund home-building projects across New Zealand, Australia and the Philippines.

Our local offices also participate in community initiatives like Round the Bays in Auckland and the City2Surf in Sydney, to raise donations for Habitat for Humanity.

Operating in the bustling cities of Auckland, Sydney and Manila, we’re also conscious of our impact on the environment. We measure our carbon footprint each year and take proactive steps to reduce our environmental impact. Our offices are set up to create as little waste as possible, with centralised recycling and compost bins, personalised mugs or keep cups for all employees, and sensor lights and taps in the bathrooms. Our reliance on paper is reducing every year, as we minimise printing, and digitise records and systems. We use recycled paper and bamboo paper products, complying with local forestry standards.
