A practical session working through the Chapter Zero NZ Board Toolkit with Judene Edgar CMInstD.
The Chapter Zero NZ Board Toolkit centres on a simple five-step approach designed to enable boards and directors to take timely, positive and decisive climate action within their organisations.
In this session, facilitated by Judene Edgar CMInstD, you will receive a comprehensive overview of the Board Toolkit, and have the opportunity to hear from local director Barry Harris MInstD , about his ongoing climate change journey, including valuable insights and lessons learned so far.
You will leave equipped with a practical action plan to help your board get started. We encourage you to bring other members of your board along to get the discussion going before you even leave the room.
