AMP goes carbon neutral

“Achieving the Toitū carbonzero certification demonstrates AMP Wealth Management’s genuine commitment to enacting positive change for future generations. Bold sustainability initiatives like those set by AMP Wealth Management are essential if we are going to achieve New Zealand’s net-zero 2050 goals”, said Toitu chief executive Becky Lloyd.

AMP Wealth Management recently announced its plans to move to smaller collaboration-based premises outside the Auckland and Wellington CBDs, which it believes will also enable it to lock in some of the sustainability gains all businesses experienced during the Covid-19 crisis.

“The Covid-19 lockdown presented many challenges for people and businesses, but there were some benefits too, especially for the environment. In particular, the reduction in cars on our roads made a big difference – and we think we can learn from that”, said AMP Wealth Management chief client officer Jeff Ruscoe.

“The reduction in office space and travel requirements for our people will help us to achieve our sustainability targets. It’s not going to work for every business, but for us it’s a no-brainer – it’s good for our peoples’ wellbeing and it’s great for the environment.”
