On 19 September at the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA)’s annual conference in New Zealand, I have the wonderful privilege of moderating a panel of three CEOs from prominent New Zealand listed companies: Simon MacKenzie (Vector), Jolie Hodson (Spark), and Grant Webster (THL Holdings). We are going to be talking about what it takes to lead an organisation in a world that needs to transition to a low carbon, sustainability focused economy. While generally society understands and broadly agrees on the importance of this transition and the need to separate emissions growth with business growth, it is by no means an easy feat to achieve – especially while economic conditions are tough.
