Growing Green: Environmental Reform and the Green Economy
Venue: Aotea Centre, The Edge, Auckland
www.edsconference.com/
The EDS National Conference 2010 will examine how the environmental reform process can be harnessed to support a greening of the economy, which in turn can support a strong green brand for the country. Speakers will explore future trends in international markets, unpack the key elements of a green economy, and identify how these might apply to the New Zealand context. Sessions will then critically evaluate prospective changes in environmental governance and management and examine how these might be better designed to support green growth.
11 June 2010-13 June 2010, Wellington

Diary now! Big Questions for Our Time. How can investors be assured about the type of investment they are making?

Are our on-shore organisations performing as we think they should? Is it possible to define ethical, sustainable practices and benchmark organisations and our investment in them, against these standards?
