ESG in property
Tuesday 7 May 2024 Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland
A one-day conference, Reset2024 will take a deep dive into the depths of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), looking at how the property sector can embrace New Zealand’s commitment to halve our carbon emissions by 2030, and improve business sustainability.

The artist formerly known as Offset | Reset is back!
Integrating ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) into every investment decision is no longer optional: it’s non-negotiable.
With non-stop regulatory progress bolstered by a global push towards unified reporting standards, the world has set the agenda – now it’s up to the property community to meet these expectations.
The property industry has an important role to play in reducing emissions. But more than that, we have a leadership role to play to ensure our cities are better planned and prepared for a sustainable future, environmentally and socially.
Reset 2024 connects property, people and the planet. This is a sustainability event, but it’s more than just a green approach, it’s about embracing innovation in business so people, the planet and the property sector prosper, together.
It’s about kaitiakitanga (guardianship).
After a test run in 2022, we are very excited to be bringing Reset back as an annual event!
