Hawke's Bay has gained an enviable reputation for a temperate climate and quality lifestyle, but underpinning the success of our region is a strong, diverse and progressive workforce from primary industry to professional services.
HBRC supports local businesses by protecting our local environment for future generations and promoting resilient and sustainable business practices.

Hawke’s Bay Regional Council understands that to be successful in business, you need to make a profit. If you’re reading this page, you’re probably also wanting to do your bit to look after the environment. Lots of businesses manage to do both, in fact, you’ve probably heard of the “Triple Bottom Line” approach. This refers to businesses looking after profit, people and the planet, and can actually help your business run more efficiently as well as more sustainably.
We’d like to help businesses increase their sustainability – you might be surprised how easy it is and how it could actually save you money. Contact the Community Engagement Coordinator on 06 833 8036 or email for help.

The Ministry for the Environment also has some great resources and ideas for businesses of any size.

Sometimes the best ideas and solutions come about from talking with other people. Green Drinks is an international series of informal networking events for people interested in sustainable practices, and local events are held regularly in Hawke's Bay. For more information, visit the Green Drinks website.
