Chapman Tripp Report Series
We are witnessing a step-change in climate and nature-related business risk. Climate change and the degradation of our natural world are no longer mere environmental concerns: for many, they present a material financial risk. New Zealand’s business community is taking notice. Climate and nature risks facing businesses today include uncertainty over stranded or compromised assets, threatened natural resources, regulatory changes, insurance concerns, interruptions to supply chains, coastal property devaluation and rapidly evolving consumer demands.
This series of reports and legal opinions by Chapman Tripp, were commissioned by The Aotearoa Circle. They aim to clarify the present legal and trade obligations of New Zealand Directors, Trustees and businesses and to assist businesses to understand the growing international expectations placed on our ESG reporting standards.
