We help business take a proactive approach to biosecurity practice
New Zealand’s economy is strongly linked to the health of our natural environment. Our small size also means many businesses are built on the value created from our natural assets.
Our isolation has meant our unique biodiversity has long benefited by being free from many of the pest and diseases found in other parts of the world. This has helped our farmers and growers to build an enviable track record and international reputation of the quality of our food and fibre exports.
Technology and the global trade system have all but removed the natural barriers that acted as our first line of defence against many of the unwanted and invasive pests and diseases that threaten our biodiversity and primary industries that are the backbone of our economy.
The Biosecurity Business Pledge is a pre-competitive network across the business community to:
- Equip businesses with the knowledge and tools needed for effective biosecurity risk management.
- Enhance the two-way flow of information between the business community and government to strengthen New Zealand’s biosecurity system as a whole.
Taking a proactive approach is good for your individual business or sector, and helps protect our economy, unique natural environment and way of life.
