A new initiative is helping Rotorua businesses become more sustainable and work towards carbon neutrality.
The project, coordinated by RotoruaNZ and the Rotorua Sustainability Charter, includes support packages of more than $2000, tailored workshops and focused consulting. The businesses would commit to benchmarking and lowering their carbon emissions.
Rotorua Sustainability Charter advisor Desirae Kirby said they were looking forward to providing tailored support to the successful businesses.
“We look at every part of their business through the sustainability lens, including environmental, cultural, social, and economic. That way we can encourage business owners to work towards becoming quite holistically sustainable.
“At the heart of the Charter, we encourage and share sustainable best practice amongst our members and hope to inspire the wider Rotorua business community.”
Expressions of interest have opened with the first successful applicants to start next month.
