Can NZ’s supply chain build enough resilience and sustainability to survive the next global crisis?
New Zealand is highly reliant on trade – particularly on maritime routes, which are lifelines for exports and imports. Key sectors such as agriculture, construction, and wholesale and retail trade depend heavily on this global network.
External events can severely disrupt the flow of goods, delay deliveries or damage critical infrastructure.
But a crisis like the COVID pandemic can also disrupt business commitments to sustainability goals such as reducing carbon emissions, minimising waste and improving resource efficiency.
