Suncorp New Zealand has signed up to the Climate Leaders Coalition 2019 Statement, as part of its commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
The coalition was launched in July 2018 to promote collective action on the issue of climate change, and its statement is a pledge for coalition members – such as Suncorp – to reduce emissions and educate employees, suppliers, customers and the public on climate change.
Suncorp New Zealand CEO Jimmy Higgins says climate change is having a marked impact on its customers and business.
“It’s critical that New Zealand businesses work together to provide leadership and direction on the issue of climate change,” he says.
“Suncorp New Zealand has committed to reducing our own emissions and we are now actively trialling programmes with suppliers to support them to do the same.”
