In addition to adapting to regulatory changes, we are also committed to addressing climate change. 🌎 We believe in "walking the talk" by aligning our business strategies with environmental responsibility. 🌱 This year we partnered with Te Hōnonga a Iwi to plant native trees at Rosedale Park. 🌳 This initiative is about more than climate action; but is equally important for team building, doing something good for the environment, and supporting our local community. 🌿 “As a small New Zealand business, it is easy to think that the global problem is too big, but together, through collaboration, we can actually make a significant impact. It is the small actions on a local New Zealand level that all add up.” Grant Henderson - COO, Strategi Group.
