Air New Zealand appoints Chief Sustainability Officer

Kiri Hannifin has been appointed to the newly created role of Chief Sustainability Officer, an
executive position recognising the importance of sustainability across all aspects of the
company’s operation and increased focus the airline is placing on addressing its environmental
impact.

Ms Hannifin is the Director of Corporate Affairs, Quality, Health & Safety and Sustainability at
Countdown. Since 2017 she has spearheaded the company’s programme to reduce
emissions, managed the health, safety and wellbeing of the company’s 21,000 staff and led its
internal and external stakeholder management activity.

Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Greg Foran says sustainability is the biggest issue
facing the airline’s future and requires increased focus from a leader who will be a passionate
public advocate for the changes all stakeholders need to make to deliver real change. “As we
rebuild Air New Zealand, we need to advance the extensive work already undertaken to
become a truly sustainable airline. Kiri’s experience in driving change across the supply chain,
engaging customers via tangible measures such as removing plastic bags from stores and
diverting food waste from landfill will help our efforts move to a new level,” says Mr Foran.

Kiri Hannifin will join Air New Zealand on 5 December 2022. She holds an LLB and BA in
Political Science from Canterbury University.
