OUR BELIEFS
Cementing a Sustainable Future
PRODUCTION
We’re dedicated to a sustainable future. Our low-carbon cement substitute Eco-Cem, is the result of years of research and we're proud to make it locally.
We recognise sustainability is more than carbon reduction and incorporates practices throughout our business for a sustainable future.
We aim to minimise offsite emissions, conserve energy and mineral resources, and reduce our carbon footprint across all products. By sourcing materials sustainably and limiting the environmental impact of transportation, we are committed to creating a greener future.
Our Sustainable Practises
We are committed to sustainability, reducing emissions, optimising our fleet, and advancing industry standards.
Employment
We are a proven equal opportunity employer with a diverse, stable and long serving workforce. Staff turnover is low, and many people grow with the business into new roles with training and career growth opportunities.
Focus on Fleet
Our distribution fleet is the newest and most efficient in the industry. KPIs are measured and staff is managed to minimize impacts. All our fleets are designed to run H licences to maximize payload and minimize fuel consumption.
The Concrete Industry
In an independent study from 2020 by Thinkstep Ltd, it was shown that the NZ concrete industry had reduced its embodied carbon by 15% since 2005, despite 10% population growth over this time. With NZ as a signatory to the Paris agreement of 30% lower emissions by 2030, the concrete industry in New Zealand is halfway there.
Environmental Product Declaration
Our GP Cement has been independently verified for its environmental effects as an EPD by Thinkstep Ltd. See more on the Products Page.
Industry Contribution
Members of our staff serve on the board of Concrete New Zealand, pushing the industry forward. This was recognized in 2020 with Cameron Greig receiving an Outstanding Contribution award from the organisation.

Voices of our valued Clients
Our readymix plant in Whanganui has been using HRCL cement for the past 4 years now. Since switching to HRCL we haven't looked back as we've been stoked with their cement products and willingness to go the extra mile for us. As a family business we're also committed to keeping it local whenever we can, so it's a real bonus to be able to source high-quality cement that's manufactured right here in New Zealand.

We switched to HR Cement's Xtra-Cem a few years ago and we've had absolutely no issues with it. Consistent product, industry leading logistics, and customer service from Adrian, great sales back up from Cam.
We know we are not a large user of Xtra-Cem, but we are treated as if we are.

Mix Up Concrete Ltd have used HR Cements Xtra-Cem exclusively since 2017 with great results around setting times and strengths. A huge plus for our team, is the lack of cracking we have seen over this time.
In 2023 Mix Up started using HR Cements Eco-Cem to produce our Eco-Max earth friendly concrete. We are very excited with the carbon savings and durability benefits Eco-Cem provides our plant and customers. It is also great to have HR Cement producing these high end products right here in Mount Maunganui.
