Greening New Zealand’s Growth
Green growth is an issue for the entire economy,
says Phil O’Reilly Chair of the Green Growth Advisory
Group.
Speaking to the launch of the Advisory Group’s report in Auckland today, Mr O’Reilly said it would be a mistake to think there is a special category of economic growth called ‘green growth’.
“Instead, we should recognise and work towards the greening of all New Zealand business to best meet customers’ and supply chains’ demand for sustainable products and services.”
The Advisory Group makes ‘greening’ recommendations around business capability, innovation, Brand New Zealand, the role of EECA, biodiversity, government procurement and the four key sectors of high value tourism, high value manufacturing and services, minerals and petroleum, and food and beverages.
