88% of New Zealanders want to buy more sustainable products and services, with spends increasing, even in tough times. Yet 72% can't name any green brand leaders.*

Marketers need to understand these major new consumer preferences and lead their organisations to adapt.

Develop strategies to meet the needs of this large and growing market
Successfully differentiate your brand through green credentials, and avoid greenwash
Ensure you comply with advertising law in this area.
