"Air New Zealand’s recent decision to abandon its short-term climate target
raises the question of how many other businesses might follow.

The airline withdrew from the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), the
leading global body for the private sector to set and validate climate targets.

SBTi currently lists 24 New Zealand businesses which have set at least some
targets and 11 which made a commitment but are yet to set or have their targets
validated.

Most of the New Zealand businesses with targets are large companies in
industries such as telecommunications and electricity generation. Other
examples include well-known businesses such as Fletcher Building, Fonterra, New
Zealand Post, and Ports of Auckland."
