Our Values

The Higgins service is delivered by a close-knit team, bound together by family-based values derived from our heritage as a New Zealand owned and operated business.

The Green Team core values are at the foundation of the way we approach our work, our relationships and our community. The Green Team is unified by these beliefs and commitments.

The six Green Team values are:

Can Do Attitude

We respect and support people with a can do attitude and who have the ideas and energy to see jobs through.

Strong Work Ethic

Higgins was founded on a strong work ethic, boundless enthusiasm, and skill of its people. We take pride in doing the best job possible and we'll move heaven and earth to achieve it. We can be trusted to get it right.

Do it Once, do it Right

We endeavor to ensure all tasks are carried out to the highest quality and we strive for continuous improvement. And we aim to do it once, and do it right - with minimum fuss. We go the extra mile to ensure the customer is completely satisfied.

Safety First

Our workplace philosophy supports and encourages our people to think 'Safety First'. Working safely is our number one priority and a fundamental responsibility of all Higgins' employees. We do not tolerate unsafe behaviour.

Respect & Integrity

Higgins deals honestly with everyone. The values of respect and integrity are integral to the way we operate. We look out for each other, we listen, we show our colleagues proper respect, pass on what we've learned, and if things get tough we stick together and support each other, to get the job done.

Clean & Green

Higgins was green long before the word became aligned to environmental responsibility - we've always treated the places where we worked with respect. And we strive to maintain and improve operational practices to minimise our impact on the environment at the same time as maximising our operational efficiencies. It's our job to protect the future - today.
