Ensured Warmth
Auckland

Fidelity Life is New Zealand's largest locally-owned life insurer. And they’ve used our cork to ensure their Auckland offices have the comfort and warmth that cork flooring provides.

Cork is a wonderful choice for your office floors for many reasons, made with 100% natural and sustainable products, combining stunning cork visuals with unbeatable sustainability. Wise Cork’s environmental benefits start from the harvesting of the cork and continue right through to installation.

The cork harvesting process begins in the Montado Cork Oak forests in Portugal, one of the 36 biodiversity hot spots in the world. This bark is removed manually, through a stripping process, and the trees do not have to be cut down, in fact, the cork oak undergoes a self-regeneration process of the bark, giving cork harvesting a uniquely sustainable nature. During this process, for every 1 tonne of cork that is harvested, the forest retains up to 73 tonnes of CO2.

Once installed Wise Cork provides amazing benefits for both the environment and us; a natural sound absorber and thermal insulator, it also improves indoor air quality, resulting in a quieter, cosier, and warmer workplace environment.
