A huge thank you to Doug Paulin, CEO of Sealord, for taking the time to share Sealord’s sustainability journey and his experience owning the BYD Shark 6.

It’s inspiring to see respected New Zealand companies leading by example and taking meaningful steps toward reducing emissions — not just within their operations, but through everyday decisions that make a real difference.
