New Zealand consumers are tired of hearing the same sustainability story, and as we mature in our own personal and professional Net Zero Journeys, we seek more grounded and transparent sustainability efforts from our local brands and businesses. In response, businesses must do better. With 40% of consumers unsure about sustainability messaging from companies, there is huge potential for brands to tap into this market. 

Today, 90% of our GDP is backed by businesses with Net Zero targets, but not all targets are created equal, and businesses cannot simply state their ambitions. The race to Net Zero must be backed by credible action. 

At Merkle and dentsu, sustainability is a core pillar of our social impact strategy, and we are looking to achieve Net Zero by 2040. We want to help support organisations in establishing real world, down to earth targets that can be backed by smart, measurable strategies for good.

Go net zero now with Net Zero Cloud. 

The planet needs climate action now, which is why at Salesforce we are committed to ambitious climate leadership solutions that create ripple effects. We're on a mission to drive urgent action, and we hope you join us on the journey.

Join us for an intimate customer lunch by the water as we discuss brand sustainability in 2023.
