Take the carbon out of your business

Start by measuring how sustainable your business is now, and what you can do to be more sustainable.

Businesses have a powerful role to play in responding to the climate emergency. And increasingly, businesses are realising the many benefits of taking a different approach:

  • Loyal customers, who are looking for companies that embody their values, and produce more climate-friendly, ethical, and locally sourced products and services.
  • Recruiting and retaining high-quality talent.
  • Being a preferred supplier or contractor when bidding for work.
  • Creating a more resilient, future-proof business.

There is a range of resources and initiatives available to help you reduce your business's carbon footprint and become more sustainable. Take climate action today and help make Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington become a net zero capital by 2050.

Climate Action Toolbox

Make an action list and complete a step by step plan using the Climate Action Toolbox. Learn where your business can make the most impact in:

  • moving people
  • moving goods
  • office operations
  • site operations and equipment
  • designing products.

The toolbox is delivered in partnership between the central government, BNZ, Meridian, and the Sustainable Business Network.
