DISCOVER GODFREY HIRST
COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT

We are committed to continuous environmental sustainability to improve and enhance our performance.  Green manufacturing production methods have resulted in numerous awards recognizing our significant reductions in greenhouse emissions and water consumption. (Please refer to About Godfrey Hirst – Awards).

Choosing an authentically sustainable fiber such as wool further solidifies our philosophy of creating a manufacturing process that is efficient and environmentally responsible.

Godfrey Hirst’s philosophy of minimizing the impact of our Australian manufacturing operations on the environment has resulted in manufacturing facilities that are efficient and environmentally responsible. Many incentives have been introduced to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Our aim is to minimize any adverse impacts that the activities and products of Godfrey Hirst may have on the environment, while remaining a competitive leader in carpet manufacturing. Godfrey Hirst has established a fully vertically integrated production process to ensure complete quality control and consistency.

Making a commitment to environmentalism means more than recycling carpet.  It also involves environmentally responsible manufacturing processes and the use of environmentally friendly raw materials.  Natural wool carpet comprises a significant proportion of Godfrey Hirst's production.

Most companies producing wool carpet are either importing their products from countries that don’t have stringent environmental practices or use commission tufting facilities, commission spinners, and dyers to produce their products.  They are green with envy because Godfrey Hirst is a vertically integrated company, enabling us to control every aspect of the manufacturing process.  This means that the wool carpet you purchase from Godfrey Hirst is of the finest quality and engineered to fulfil its end use.  Godfrey Hirst sources only the highest quality wools from both New Zealand and Australia and therefore we are able to offer our North American clients the very best in wool carpet and manufacturing.  With our commitment to the environment, the combination is a winning one for both the consumer and the world at large. Godfrey Hirst’s philosophy of minimizing the impact of operations on the environment has resulted in a manufacturing process that is efficient and environmentally responsible. Many incentives have been introduced to reduce, reuse and recycle.
