The Value of Purpose

Sustainable Brands Aotearoa is bringing together world-class speakers from brands who, despite the current climate, are still doing purpose and are winning at it. These are the ones moving forwards at pace, because they know the value of their sustainability, people and purpose programmes and they want you to know the value of your purpose too. 
 
Join Sustainable Brands for this two-day conference from 13 May – 14 May 2025 including truly practical insights and purpose-led Rotorua experiences that showcase how these businesses are getting it done. Keynote speakers include successful sustainability entrepreneur Brianne West who sold her beauty company Ethique in 2020 for almost $100 million, Shamubeel Eaqub a thought leading economist, and leading author on people & culture Dr Ellen Joan Ford (#WorkSchoolHours). 
 
Both days are jam-packed with presentations, panels and masterclasses with experts from Silver Fern Farms, Comvita, Ecostore, Tax Traders, IKEA, Dole, VF Corporation (Icebreaker), Blunt Umbrellas, Beca, Miraka and more covering off both the financial return on investment of values-led initiatives, and the value of putting people at the heart of operations. This conference is for the change-makers, the ones who want to re-write the system, to one that's better for all.  
 
This event is particularly relevant to company Directors, who need to understand the global context, how this affects them and how they, as Directors, can effect change. 
 
Sustainable Brands is a global network of thousands of brands from Spain to Japan, USA to South America and now Aotearoa New Zealand.  
 
Only 300 places are available at The Value of Purpose conference. Sustainable Brands Aotearoa have offered a limited time discount of 30% for Chapter Zero supporters and IoD members available till 5pm April 25th unless sold out prior.
