What We Do
The Sustainable Business Council is focused on:
Business Leadership – being the leading business advocate on issues connected with sustainability.
Best practice – providing a forum for our members to work through challenges and share best practice on sustainability issues. This enables us to demonstrate business progress in environmental and corporate social responsibility and to share leading – edge practices.
International connectedness – providing early access to the latest trends, developments and resources through our partnership with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and involvement in international forums such as the Business and Industry Advisory Group to the OECD (BIAC) and the International Labur Organisation (ILO).
Mainstreaming sustainable business practice in NZ – working through the BusinessNZ network to mainstream sustainable business thinking, processes and practices.
Policy development – participating in policy development for a framework that allows business to contribute effectively to sustainable development.
