Kate Alcock, SBC’s Climate and Resources Manager, set the scene, explaining what the SDGs represent and why they matter to business. Vector’s Chief Risk Officer, Kate Beddoe, demonstrated the company’s strategic approach to the anchoring the SDGs in their business. Vector Limited is New Zealand's largest distributor of electricity and gas and is leading the transformation of the energy sector to create a new energy future. Beddoe concluded that the SDGs create a shared understanding on global sustainability challenges, provide a basis for business ambition on sustainability and offer a common language between stakeholders from business to civil society. She also argued that the SDGs enable avenues to engage the board on sustainability as the 17 goals highlight significant business opportunities.
