Our Team

The Business Biosecurity Pledge aims to help all businesses
take a proactive approach to their biosecurity practices.

The Executive Committee

The Executive Committee plays a crucial role in shaping the Pledge’s ongoing strategy and informed decision-making to help us continue to grow while delivering what members need. Reference Group members come from business and industry associations that work in partnership with Biosecurity New Zealand to oversee and deliver the programme of activity for the year as well as help engage more businesses to take a proactive approach to biosecurity.
