IAG is the leading general insurance provider in Australia and New Zealand, with a growing presence in Asia, across both the direct and intermediated channels.

1 Fanshawe Street, one of Auckland’s most sustainably-designed buildings, is the home of their New Zealand head office. It was awarded a 5-star base building Certified Rating for energy use, and a 5 Green Star rating at the time of construction for fit-out and design. Features include a distinctive double skin façade with automatically controlled blinds to moderate glare and sunlight, and exposed concrete ceilings to help moderate temperature.

Their professed purpose is to make your world a safer place, and their sustainable mission makes it better, too.

Implementation

IAG had previously implemented waste recycling, organics, and paper recycling in their kitchens, but hidden inside cabinetry. The design was ugly, and the bins were quickly made unclean and unhygienic; they also weren’t being used to their full potential. IAG were looking for a way to boost their sustainability, but also something that would look aesthetically pleasing and be kept consistent in each of their offices.

Sometimes we’d have steel metal bins, some offices had other styles: it was a shambles. We wanted something that could be for all sites, that looked good but still had the three options we needed. We finally found Method through our cleaning company, and installed them in our three big sites - the NZI Centre in Auckland, 1 Willis Street in Wellington, and IAG in Christchurch. Now every time we open a new site or office we always use Method.
