Paperchains

It’s good to see organisations doing away with unnecessary paper. Filing official returns online is one way we can reduce production and transport of paper, and so reduce the number of trees that are cut down, the fuel used to carry it all around and the pollution that goes into the air.

The New Zealand Companies Office is making online filing mandatory (though with exceptions for those who still lack decent Internet connections) — Important changes to the way you do business with the Companies Office:

Here at the Companies Office we are committed to providing the New Zealand business community with sustainable, efficient and cost effective company administration. As part of this commitment, the Companies Office is introducing changes to the way that you do business with us.

From 1 July 2008 it will become mandatory to file certain documents with the Companies Office via our online services.

They are also providing training and support to see people through the transition. Sensible, and efficient!
