Caring for smiles and caring for Aotearoa, one tree at a time.
At The Big Grin, we believe every great journey begins with a single step. Today, we’re excited to share ours. As we continue to grow and serve more families across the region, we are also taking our first steps towards doing our part for a healthier, more sustainable Aotearoa.
One new patient. One new smile. One new tree.
For every new patient who signs up for a treatment plan with The Big Grin, we pledge to plant one tree. It’s a simple promise with a meaningful purpose. By planting trees, we can help restore New Zealand’s natural spaces, support biodiversity and give back to the environment that supports us all.
Planting a tree for every new journey reflects the heart of who we are. We care deeply about people, community and long-term wellbeing, and that extends beyond our clinics and into the world we live in.
A small start, with a big vision
We know that sustainability is not a one-time action. It’s an ongoing commitment, and we are just at the beginning. This initiative is our first step, and we’re proud to take it. But it’s only the start of what we hope will become a larger, long-term effort to reduce our impact and make choices that benefit our patients and our planet.
As we continue to grow, we’ll keep exploring new ways to make The Big Grin even more sustainable. That includes reviewing our materials, reducing waste where possible, and looking for opportunities to improve our practices without compromising on the high standards our patients expect.
Sharing the journey with our community
We’ll be keeping our patients updated as our tree-planting programme grows. Whether it’s the number of trees planted, updates on planting progress, or new sustainability steps we take along the way, we look forward to sharing this part of our journey with you.
