Sustainability Advisory Panel

Our Sustainability Advisory Panel meets quarterly, offering external insights, challenging feedback, and guidance on advancing the circular economy and achieving a carbon-neutral future for Aotearoa New Zealand.

In 2023, WM New Zealand advanced its Porohita sustainability strategy, aligning it closely with core business goals across five strategic pillars. Insights from the For Future Generations strategy informed this holistic approach, supported by guidance from the Sustainability Advisory Panel. 

The Panel emphasised continuing fleet decarbonisation, circular economy initiatives, and demonstrating strong ESG credentials. Looking ahead, the focus will be on maintaining agility, anticipating challenges, and incorporating diverse perspectives to ensure impactful progress in a complex, evolving landscape.
