SFA New Zealand
SFA New Zealand has been present in the country for 20 years. Formerly known as Saniflo SFA, they have continually supplied New Zealand with world class Macerators, Greywater Pumps, Lifting Stations and Inground Lifting stations, unlocking design flexibility and making plumbing amenities possible anywhere.
As an international industrial group our primary purpose is simple: to design and manufacture home and professional solutions wherever water flows.
In 2016, SFA’s management decided that it was now imperative to engage the company in a Corporate Social Responsibility approach to meet new communication, human resources, and regulatory compliance challenges.
SFA’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) reflects our aims to pursue Sustainable and Responsible growth of our activities and to meet Social and Environmental challenges by continuing to provide our customers with inventive solutions to meet their expectations.
Our inventive approach to product solutions and brand creation begins and ends with quality and services.
SFA’s product solutions have been widely recognized within our industry and beyond as best practice.
On important environmental issues like using eco-responsible reflexes right from the design stage and reducing waste, we push ourselves not only to improve our own performance, but also to raise the bar for others, including our suppliers.
In supporting our employees and partnering with suppliers to deliver quality products to our customers, we hold ourselves to high standards of ethics and integrity. Collaboration and inclusivity are central to how we work. We believe the best solutions are those that draw on diverse ideas and perspectives.
We aim to enrich the lives and communities we touch. SFA has a long history of helping people worldwide in sanitary matters. Every year, for the world toilet day, where it is all about inspiring action to tackle the global sanitation crisis and help achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), we support through product donations. These help children and adults receive much needed health facilities.

Our sustainable Packaging
To demonstrate our commitment to packaging sustainability, SFA signed the Australian Packaging Covenant in 2020. SFA is committed to further reducing our environmental footprint by reviewing new and existing packaging against Sustainable Packaging Guidelines in order to minimise usage and to ensure recyclability. SFA is currently in the pro-cess of reviewing polystyrene to see where it can be replaced with recyclable materials.
