SUSTAINABILITY

inspiring change in practical ways

a sustainability Webinar series

Changing the present to aid the future is top of mind for many. We all know how important sustainability is and that meaningful sustainability can change our future. We also know it’s no longer a choice for business – but a mandate. However not all small to medium size business have the resources and knowledge to respond.

The Parnell Business Association regularly hosts webinars to educate and inform businesses and the people in them, on how to practically implement some sustainable actions, as small incremental changes DO make a difference.

From workspace, to home space. Implementing sustainable practices is a choice. The more we know, the more we can do. 

We hope these webinars continue to educate, encourage and inform. Covering a wide range of topics, with some interesting ‘talk points’ planned for 2022, you can read below what’s coming up. Also see below what we have covered so far and take the opportunity to listen to some of the recordings. 

Invites will be sent prior to the time, but if you have not received an invite and would still like to attend, please email carolyn@parnell.net.nz

WEBINAR SCHEDULE

2023. Our series will commence in March 2023 and we will keep you updated. In the meantime you may wish to take a look at some of our previous recordings. 

3rd Nov 2022, Conscious gifting this Christmas. Christmas shopping list already doing your head in and you don’t know where to start? Start right here!

You’ll walk away with some great ideas for gift giving this year that are kind to not only those you love, but to the planet. Our two guest speakers, Lisa Caughey, Owner of The Fantail House artisan gallery, and Christine Langdon from The Good Registry discuss how to remove ‘waste’ and add ‘fun’ into your Christmas planning.

6th Oct 2022, Corporate Volunteering. If personal ethics play a part in who you choose to work for, the October sustainability seminar was for you.

Guest speakers Michelle Blau – Fair Food’s as Chief Executive and Kim Sinfield, Funding & Relationships manager, Habitat for Humanity Northern lead the conversation. Both Fair Foods and Habitat for Humanity Northern have strong corporate volunteering opportunities for employees, providing their volunteers an opportunity to make a life-changing impact in their communities.

Why volunteer? You may ask? Well, Gen Z and millennial staff expect their employers to be authentic about their commitment to sustainability. Nearly half – 49% of Gen Zs – surveyed by Deloitte said that their personal ethics have played a role in their career choices. Offering staff, a meaningful connection to a local community climate group through volunteering together is a great way to retain staff. With the rise of work from home, having a team-building day that gives back brings a team closer together.

We invite you to enjoy this seminar, in what is an important conversation to be a part of for all companies and their employees.

GREEN HEROES

Want to read about some of Parnell’s Green Heroes? 

 

As we are all being called upon to take the sustainability challenge seriously, we thought we would like to celebrate some of our business members, large and small, who have been on this journey for a while. We hope that this will inspire more businesses to participate, as even in small ways, we can all take practical steps toward a low carbon future.

Follow the list of Parnell companies taking the lead in this space.
