  2. “The New Zealand Post Group is taking real and tangible actions to incorporate sustainability into the foundations of our everyday business.” • Brian Roche • Chief Executive • New Zealand Post Group Sustainability case study

  3. Post Group’s aim is to ensure we are a sustainable business and so we recognise our reach and influence right across all the market sectors in which we operate. Our commitment to be a responsible and sustainable organisation over the long term is fundamental to our business strategy and to our connection with New Zealanders - and their connections with others in turn. Sustainability case study

  4. The Drivers of Sustainability • our relationship with New Zealand communities • effective cost management, especially fuel and energy • the need to attract and retain a highly productive, capable and diverse work force to engage the wide range of our customers’ needs • the provision of relevant customer services and products • improving procurement practice to work with contract suppliers to maintain the transparency and integrity of our supply chain • the ability to influence relevant markets (including advocating to make banking better for New Zealanders) • the need to manage our regulatory context, such as the impact of the ETS • maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand. Driving to Sustainability

  5. Our Roadmap The Corporate Sustainability Strategic Plan was signed off in July 2010. It outlines the second phase of the programme, seeking to drive greater integration into the business and identify business value from the sustainability focus. YEARS 1-3 2007–2010 “Compliance” YEARS 7-9 2013–2016“Value Creation” YEARS 4-6 2010–2013 “Integration” Level 1 Level 3 Level 4 Level 2 Reactive or little response Managing direct risks and costs Stakeholder responsiveness Integrated into business operations Driving to Sustainability

  6. Now addressing sustainability in our business cases & projects A series of key questions Will this business case result in increased profitability? Will this meet our customers needs? Will it protect the environment? (or can we protect the environment while we do this?) Will this let us manage the material resources we are using? Will it benefit our communities? Will it link to our priorities for enable our people to grow? (for example, building capable leaders, become more diverse, being safe and well) Who else do we need to talk to before we make this decision? A governance framework that ensures these projects exhibit accountability for sustainability outcomes Driving to Sustainability

  7. Key focus areas • Community • Ensuring social and economic development for New Zealand communities by focusing on: • supporting active participation to improve health and wellness • increasing education levels (including financial literacy), and • supporting business clusters to improve productivity • Environment • Emissions - green house gases • Fuel use • Energy consumption • Waste disposal • Resource use - office paper • Marketplace • Identification and management of high risk supplier categories • Reduction in resource use of products and services • Workplace • Diversity - Woman and ethnicity Sustainability case study

  8. Some achievements • In the first year of operation of our waste reduction programme it demonstrated very significant reductions of 34 per cent, exceeding the waste to landfill reduction target of 29 per cent. Plus, there was a saving of over $132,000. • Our reduction in energy consumption since June 2007 has resulted in $1.23 million of avoided direct cost across the Group. • In 2009/10 we expanded existing programmes such as the Duffy Books in Homes programme. We supplied finalist titles, totalling over 1,600 books, from the New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards, to approximately 550 schools participating in the programme. Annual research shows that schools in the programme notice an improved attitude towards books and reading, with improvements in reading scores of up to 35 per cent in participating schools. • Kiwibank was the 2009 New Zealand winner, Emerging Large and Corporate, at the NZI Sustainable Business Network Awards. Kiwibank was recognised for establishing clear strategic thinking in its sustainability focus and striving to uphold an ethical banking system for New Zealanders. • In 2009/10, the Group made its third submission into the CRI. Following third party verification, we achieved a score of 87 per cent – exceeding our 70 per cent target by 17 per cent and improving significantly on our score of 68 per cent in the previous year (winning most improved).
