New Zealand business is transitioning to a low carbon economy.

It's time for us to understand the circular economy. It's not rocket science. We can redesign the way our economy works one product, service and business at a time...thanks to the brilliant team at: www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org who have created shared this video.

…answering Vincent Heeringa's rhetorical question...

“If we are to galvanise consumers and voters in more than virtue signalling, climate change and biodiversity need a better story. Do you know of one?” Vincent Heeringa, Anthem, Executive Director – ‘Climate Change has a PR Problem’. Idealog Dec 2018

Thanks for asking Vincent…yes…yes…I think I do!

It just makes perfect sense...the power and potential of business is finally being unleashed and their is an expectation of the need to act decisively. To meaningfully contribute to society and the communities they impact. To hold true to a purpose bigger than themselves. To actively contribute to a better environment not just settling for minimizing damage. To show excellence in generating sustainable profit. Genuine brands that consumers can trust. Leaders we can be proud of. Positive change is on the way... thanks Idealog - Andy Blackburn.

New Zealanders are world renowned for coming up with breakthrough thinking and ideas. We have a DIY and entrepreneurial culture that has at times brought us great national pride and international recognition. So why is it that we don’t seem to be able to commercialise many of these great ideas? What is the gap and what are we doing wrong?
