About BusinessNZ
BusinessNZ is committed to New Zealand’s success – sustainable growth through free enterprise.
Advocating for enterprise and promoting the voice of thousands of businesses across New Zealand, we work for positive change through new thinking, productivity and innovation.
Our unique strength lies in our capability to engage with government officials, community groups, MPs and Ministers on a daily basis, ensuring business interests are represented throughout the policy making process.
What we do affects all New Zealanders, because when business is going well, it affects the wellbeing of our economy, our environment, our jobs, our communities, our families and our futures.
