This event is open to SBC members only. Join us at our next quarterly Thriving People networking event in Auckland.

This event is open to SBC members only. Taking action on sustainability can be especially challenging during a time of fiscal constraints. SBC has established a community of practice to share good practice on this topic. At our second hui Dawn Baggaley (Group Sustainability Manager, NZ Post) will share NZ Post’s take on what covid taught us about balancing short- and long-term crises. Register for one or all of the upcoming sessions below. 

The contributions nature provides to people and businesses and the consequences of its rapid loss is well recognised by governments and economists alike.

Join SBC and Nature Positive to learn about why and how your company might set global best practice targets for nature!
