Welcome

Sustainability is the biggest opportunity and challenge that business faces.

The Sustainable Business Network provides practical advice and support to assist business with this challenge. We support our members with networking opportunities, programme delivery, training and sustainability assessments.

Ecological and social issues are becoming more important than ever and consumers are calling for action. We have reached the sustainability tipping point and it is now the imperative for business this century.

Developing strategies to take on sustainability is vital for the long term survival of businesses. The drivers for business are clear - the change in thinking required and the associated challenge for business is significant.
We have the opportunity to base our economic future on principles such as quality, integrity, effectiveness and natural beauty. We could become the first country to earn a First World, sustainable living from our natural environment; through myriad small, entrepreneurial and international companies; supporting and being supported by a just, multicultural society.

SBN programmes include the Get Sustainable Challenge, GreenFleet and Sustainable Business Awards.

To work with the hundreds of business taking part in this journey, join today.

The Sustainable Business Network:
Focus- to advance and embed sustainable business practices
Vision- to make New Zealand the model sustainable nation for the world

SBN is proudly supported by its Cornerstone Sponsors, the Ministry for Environment and NZI.
