Where are you on your sustainability journey?

Share your thoughts via BusinessNZ Network's 2023 Sustainability Survey

Sustainability is both the biggest challenge and opportunity we face. Effective businesses focus on what matters and where they can have impact, while learning, innovating, taking risks and collaborating to achieve more.

The BusinessNZ Network is on its own sustainability journey. We are committed to being entirely Toitū carbon zero certified by the end of financial year 2023.

We want to share what we’ve learned along the way and are offering sustainability services to businesses who are interested in learning more.

To ensure our offering is tailored to current business interests, we’d love to hear from you.

We would appreciate your time to take a short survey to share your thoughts and insights. Your responses can be anonymous if you choose. We value any and all feedback.

Thanks
