The NZSA Sustainability Interest Group provides a forum for discussion of NZSA members’ concerns and ideas relating to the ongoing sustainability of the insurance industry. This includes, but is not limited to, environmental sustainability.
NZSA has adopted a Climate Statement to establish the Society’s position and intention on climate related issues. See some of the frequently asked questions on our climate statement. NZSA has also prepared a Climate Action Plan to specify actions that NZSA will take in support of its Climate Statement.
