Partnering for change
At ANZRP we recognise, as the proverb goes, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” We aim to go far and maximise the impact that we can have. We do this by establishing partnerships that are built on working collaboratively and that deliver mutual benefit.
ANZRP works with its members to determine opportunities to further enhance member environmental, social and governance (ESG) plans and the collective e-stewardship system. To address these opportunities, ANZRP helps establish e-waste initiatives, solutions, partnerships and joint ventures that will help raise the bar for the entire sector.
