HRNZ SDG Week 2023
In collaboration with Bead and Proceed, we are excited to introduce HRNZ's SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) Week 2023 - to celebrate, promote, and recognise sustainability throughout the HR community and beyond.
The Global Week to #ACT4SDGs is 15 September to 25 September 2023, and we are resolute in engaging HR professionals and businesses in transformative conversations surrounding sustainability.
Our core intention is to establish a profound connection between HR Professionals and people leaders and the pursuit of sustainability. Moving beyond the conventional perception of 'green and clean' sustainability, we aim to highlight the vital importance of nurturing and caring for people as an integral part of our sustainability journey.
Join us for a variety of events and initiatives that will inspire you to take action and carry out sustainable practices to create meaningful change for our environment's future.
Let's start off with an empowering video by Bridget Williams!
Intersection of HR and Sustainability - A Panel Webinar

This Webinar higlighted the vital importance of caring for our people as an integral part of our sustainability journey. Moving beyond the conventional perception of “green and clean” sustainability, HR professionals and people leaders play a key role in this kaupapa (topic, initiative).HRNZ was honored to have businesses, people leaders and HR professionals join Karen Meredith (PeopleEx), Teresa Callow (NZ Merino) and Craig Binney (Scenic Hotel Group) to uncover their sustainability journeys.

"Goal Getters" Competition
Open now until the 24 September
Over SDG Week, HRNZ wanted to celebrate and recognise those amazing Goal Getters who are actioning the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We were asking people across Aotearoa to send in photos capturing how they action one or more of the SDGs through their daily life, workplace, or place of study. Each entry went in the draw to win a prize pack of sustainable goodies, and was added to HRNZ's Sustainability Library.
The winner will be announced soon.
