The Aotearoa Collaborative Working Group is an initiative by the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA), providing a platform for Aotearoa New Zealand members of RIAA to actively participate and collaborate on critical responsible investment and sustainability issues.
It aims to contribute to evolving best practice in responsible investment, sharing knowledge and work to align these with Aotearoa New Zealand's responsible investment and policy priorities. Through quarterly in-person events and shared insights, members commit to improving responsible investment outcomes within the group and influencing their own organisations and the wider investment community.
This meeting will begin with a workshop on Mapping Global Standards (as part of the Educating workstream), facilitated by Rachel Tinkler. The meeting will then continue with an update on other key topics including Te Ao Māori approaches to investment, policy advocacy, and the NZ Sustainable Finance Strategy.
