17324 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for the Environment: Will the Minister commit to further investment in New Zealand's EcoChoice label, in order to support the value of NZ businesses in international markets?

Hon Penny Simmonds: In September 2024, I directed Ministry for the Environment officials to provide me with further advice on revising the Deed that exists between the Ministry for the Environment and Eco Choice Aotearoa, retaining the self-funding model (no further investment).
