GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY

Governance Sustainability is one of the three strategic pillars within the ESG model of sustainability, which covers all aspects of business that impact its successful ongoing operation. This includes governance & leadership structures, regulatory compliance, finances, ethics, and integrity.

Within New Zealand, there are several Acts of Parliament that regulate how businesses must account for, and manage their social impact. These include the:

  • Companies Act
  • Financial Reporting Act
  • Holidays Act
  • Privacy Act
  • Employment Relations Act
Governance, Sustainability, IFPS Director meeting

In addition to the regulations associated with these Acts, there are also an increasing number of requirements being placed on businesses by customers, suppliers, or third-parties, related to compliance with standards. These standards may include:

  • ISO Governance standards, such as ISO 37000
  • IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards
  • Corporate Governance Codes
  • Customer or Supplier ESG compliance standards
  • B Corporation Certification
