For the generations after us, for the country we love, for the viability of our businesses, we are ambitious for action on climate change.  If we act now we can forge a path to create a future that is low-emission, positive for our businesses and economy, and inclusive for all New Zealanders.  We are committed to playing our part to make that future real.  If we don’t, our competitiveness is at risk.

We take climate change seriously in our business:

• We measure our greenhouse gas emissions and publicly report on them
• We set a public emissions reduction target consistent with keeping within 2° of warming
• We work with our suppliers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions

We believe the transition to a low emissions economy is an opportunity to improve New Zealand’s prosperity:

• We support the Paris Agreement & New Zealand’s commitment to it
• We support the introduction of a climate commission and carbon budgets enshrined in law
