Our sustainability progress

This year we have moved to web-based sustainability reporting with the launch of a comprehensive new section on our website. This section covers our performance over the year. Extensive links are provided to relevant pages with more information about us as an organisation (including our sustainability policy and corporate social responsibility framework), governance (including Government owners, reporting framework, and Board of Directors), stakeholders, and our science for sustainability.

Our business, scientific research, is all about sustainable development and the stewardship of our environment by society. Our new web-based approach to reporting enables us to show greater connection between the issues of sustainability, the research, science and technology we conduct, and what we are doing to manage our own performance across all the dimensions of sustainability.

Feedback

The Crown Company Monitoring Advisory Unit (CCMAU), which has a statutory responsibility to monitor the performance of Government-owned entities, reviews and assesses the printed annual reports of all CRIs. While CCMAU has no obligation to review our sustainability web pages, we will be seeking their feedback as to how well these pages deliver on Government expectations to publicise our work.

Similarly, we will be seeking feedback from other sustainability reporters, our staff, and clients and stakeholders in our research.

We are keen to get feedback from all stakeholders, and encourage readers to provide comments: feedback@landcareresearch.co.nz
