SUMMARY:PIANC NZ Lunchtime Webinar: Reflections on climate disclosures for the port sector - 7 May 2026
DESCRIPTION:PIANC Aotearoa New Zealand warmly invites you to join us on a lunchtime webinar on the topic of \nReflections on climate disclosures for the port sector.\nThis session brings together practical perspectives from both sides of  the Tasman. \nThe event is free but registrations are essential.  Please go to TryBooking link  https://www.trybooking.com/nz/BDCR \nDate and time: THURSDAY 7th MAY 2026 –  between 12:30-13:45.  NZST (UTC+12) \nCost: FREE for members and Non- members. All are welcome. \nAbout \nClimate disclosures are quickly evolving from a compliance requirement to just good business practice.  For infrastructure-heavy organisations like ports active consideration of climate risk\, resilience and decarbonisation initiatives are critical for shaping capital decisions\, asset planning and long-term commercial performance. \nThis session brings together practical perspectives from across the Tasman to reflect on methods\, approaches and investor usefulness of disclosures\, as well as the operational and planning benefits of climate-related financial disclosures. \nThe focus is simple — what actually works in practice\, and how to move beyond compliance reporting into insight that underpin good business decisions. \nPresenters \n\nCrystal Lenky\, Head of Environment and Sustainability\, Lyttelton Port Company\nIvan Yancic Jurado\, Sustainability Business Partner\, Flinders Port Holdings\nJames Hughes\, Technical Director: Risk and Resilience\, Tonkin + Taylor\n\nWhat you’ll learn \n\nWhere first-time disclosures may have fallen short and what’s been done about it\nWhat shifts between initial compliance and more decision-useful approaches\nHow climate scenarios translate into real business and investment decisions\nWhat good looks like now across NZ and Australian markets\, and what next\n\nThis event has been generously supported by Tonkin & Taylor.
