Our programmes have grown over the years to not only address litter abatement, but to also tackle broader environmental objectives such as: tree plantings, stream restoration efforts, community beautification initiatives and environmental education programmes, which are designed to inspire children’s interest in their environment and to motivate the nation to actively participate in the restoration, care, and protection of their local and national environment. KNZB employs a collaborative approach to achieve its strategic outcomes, and partners with central and local government, iwi, community funders, corporates, schools, and community organisations to realise shared objectives.   For 52 years we’ve been at the forefront of the litter abatement movement in New Zealand. However, as New Zealand’s population has grown, so has our litter problem. We are committed to leadership in sustainability – this is anchored in our organisational values. We will continue to serve as a leader in the sector, be ambassadors for sustainability, drive continuous improvements in all its dimensions and actively engage in dialog with stakeholders on our strategy, decisions and actions.
