We are thrilled to share the findings of the latest study on the economic benefits of IANZ (International Accreditation New Zealand) to the New Zealand economy, authored by Principal Economics. While the invaluable contributions of IANZ to health and safety are beyond measure, economic modelling has provided some impressive insights into its tangible economic impact.

Key findings from the study for the year ending March 2003 include:

  • IANZ accreditation facilitated over 438,000 jobs
  • Supported $47.6 billion of New Zealand's exports
  • Contributed a net impact of $8.2 billion on total export values

These figures highlight the crucial role that IANZ accreditation plays in fostering economic growth and ensuring the global competitiveness of New Zealand's industries.
