Waters & Farr is a division of the Hynds Group which was built around finding sustainable solutions to support the three waters (drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure services) and ultimately keeping our country’s waterways clean and our communities safe – both for today and for future generations.

Waters & Farr has adopted a sustainability framework which focuses on three strategic pillars; the planet (our natural environment), people (our people but also our wider communities and stakeholders) and products (innovating and building resilience into what we do to meet the needs of future generations)

Addressing the effects of climate change is a huge challenge that we all face. Waters & Farr believes that addressing climate change will make us better off and is committed to New Zealand’s transition to a low-emissions economy. Waters & Farr (as part of the Hynds Group) has committed to a 42% reduction in Scope 1(direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) carbon emissions by 2032. This target is based on the goal to limit warming by 1.5˚C (SBTi, 2021a).
