Wesley has a role to play in minimizing our environmental impact, as well as leading/fostering positive environmental action in the communities and in the Government systems we interact with. In early 2022, the Wesley team included a new goal into our three year action plan. This goal states that we will:
“Grow awareness of our environmental impact and implement new measures that reduce our carbon footprint.”
Wesley has established Team Taiao – a group of kaimahi who represent each team or site, and who are passionate about progressing this mahi. Based on a paper initiated by our Community Innovation Lead in 2020, Team Taiao (with the help from Place Consultancy) have identified nine focus areas for Wesley, some key priorities to work on in the coming year, and some actions associated with these focus areas. This document pulls together these focus areas and describes practical actions we will take to progress our goal in our three-year action plan.
