The Environmental Defence Society, Sustainable Business Council and Climate Leaders Coalition were proud to again partner to deliver the 17th Climate Change and Business Conference.
The conference was held at the Viaduct Events Centre in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland on 8 & 9 September, 2025.
The theme Ambition. Accountability. Action. provided a platform for discussion about the most effective interventions business leaders are taking at speed and scale, often in close collaboration with governments, across these three pillars.
Most importantly, it reflected the critical role of business in securing our ambitions for the future. With a focus on the ‘how’ – the 2025 sessions will showcase examples of cutting-edge action here in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally.
