Level up your business: Embrace sustainability and security at the Queenstown Wao Summit sessions
The upcoming Queenstown sessions at the Wao Summit offer two dynamic opportunities for businesses to enhance their operations and align with purpose-driven and secure practices.
The first session, Go B Corp for Good: The What, Why & How of B Corp, led by Tim Jones, kicks off on Thursday, 31 October, at 1.30pm. Tim, New Zealand’s leading B Corp expert, will guide attendees through the process of leveraging the B Corp framework to implement better business practices. B Corp certification signifies that a company meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact, ensuring that it operates as a force for good. Tim’s experience spans consulting with organisations like Meridian Energy and Cookie Time, helping them transition to purpose-led business models. His insights are invaluable for businesses looking to adopt more meaningful and sustainable approaches, making this session a must-attend for anyone serious about levelling up their impact and performance.
On the same day at 3pm, Cybersecurity in the Green Economy addresses the growing importance of digital security as businesses transition to more sustainable, carbon-zero operations. Led by cybersecurity expert Nick Baty, this session will explore the vulnerabilities that arise in the green economy, where digital innovation often comes at the cost of heightened cyber threats. With expertise in cyber strategy, governance, and risk management, Nick will share practical insights on safeguarding businesses in this new digital landscape. As businesses increasingly rely on digital tools for sustainability and efficiency, managing cyber risks is more critical than ever. This session provides key strategies to ensure that as your business becomes more eco-friendly, it also remains digitally secure.
Both sessions offer invaluable guidance for businesses in Queenstown to elevate their approach to sustainability and security in today’s complex landscape. All sessions are at Te Atamira in Frankton.
If you want more, you can head over to Wānaka for a full Better Business day programme dedicated to Business with Purpose.
