The ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee in collaboration with the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo, invites members and guests to join us for an exclusive seminar on integrating climate-related risks into corporate decision-making and strategic planning featuring two global experts from Climate Change Advisory, Te Whakahaere Āhuarangi Ltd.

- New Zealand: The first jurisdiction to implement a mandatory climate-related financial disclosures regime, requiring large financial market participants to disclose climate-related risks and opportunities.
