    The Government has made key decisions to reward businesses that capture and store carbon through the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Legislation is expected to be introduced this year in New Zealand. Carbon capture and storage is a process to remove carbon dioxide from waste gases and store it underground. Doing this safely and effectively can be a great tool to help New Zealand meet our emissions targets. Link to the announcement from the Minister of Climate Change below 👇

    🍃What's the word on the (carbon) street? New Zealand Government has introduced a Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) framework to support businesses in reducing carbon emissions by storing CO2 underground. This aligns with the Government's commitment to driving economic growth through electrification while reducing emissions. Businesses that capture and store CO2 also being rewarded through the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). In theory, the framework will ensure safe CO2 storage, supporting innovation, competitiveness, and attracting investment as part of our broader low-emissions economy.

    The sooner you get started with your climate journey, the easier and the gentler the transition will be. You'll have more time to experiment with unknowns, build out investment cases, and engage with your suppliers. 🤔 So how do you get started? Assess your climate impacts and discover new opportunities. This involves understanding your organisation's carbon footprint and the potential impacts of climate change on your operations. We're here to help! If you've never looked at climate accounting before, speak to us about getting started on our eManage emissions measurement software. "The transition becomes one that is going to elevate your opportunities a lot more than your risks. The sooner you get started, the more opportunities you will have." - Austin Hansell #ClimateAccounting #ClimateJourney #EarnTheMark #ClimateLeadership

    Attending the 3rd Annual Sustainability & Climate Reporting Conference this week reinforced something we all know: too often, we’re still working in silos. But the CRD regime has the potential to change that. Treating CRD as a compliance task is a waste of time and money. Instead, we should focus on the business case of integrating it fully into strategic planning and operations using sustainability and climate risk insights to build resilience, cut costs, and gain a competitive advantage.   We also need to take care for silos not to exist with our suppliers and industries. Some businesses are already showing how collaboration with suppliers, partners, and across industries can drive real impact. Fonterra and Nestle as well as Port Nelson and Port Lyttelton shared great examples of how measuring and managing emissions can be done together.   A big thanks to all the speakers, and a special shoutout to our very own Belinda Mathers from Toitū Envirocare for kicking off the day with a great session!

    Awesome to attend Day 2 of Brightstar's Re:new Sustainability & Climate Reporting Conference this week on behalf of Toitū Envirocare. Fascinating insights across climate risk management, scenario analysis, transition planning, and the techniques to report on them. Who says online conferences are a slog?? Key takeaways from me: - Scenario analysis should complement the risk analysis – it’s not a forecast and should be challenging. There’s been a focus on building scenario models and less on how to actually use them. Risk management needs to recognise a balance of foresight and hindsight and show resilience to changing risk scopes – flexibility, dynamism, continuous monitoring is key. Climate opportunities have been mischaracterised in the vast majority of CRDs reviewed. - $4.3 trillion is needed to fill the financial gap in biodiversity protection/restoration, and this must come from a combination of the public and private sectors. The key to unlocking this finance is value for money. Verification is necessary for this to work. - Patterns across the highest achieving companies in their sustainable business journeys: aiming high, thinking in systems/relationships, collaboration, integration, continuous improvement - While global interest in ESG investment appears to be wobbling, the reasons behind it aren’t going away – materiality, regulation, and stakeholder demand are (still) drivers. - Transition plans should support a whole-of-organisation transformation, improve information to investors on pricing risk and capital allocations, and hold stakeholders to account for their public climate statements. - There’s a growing demand for raw materials and a sudden increase in costs. These resources are harder to get to, are mostly found in areas of geopolitical risk, and are increasingly controlled by monopolistic supply chains. A decoupling of growth from consumption (ie, a circular economy) is therefore necessary. - Siloed org structures (ie sustainability team rather than business strategy), fragmentation between risk assessments and strategic development, and failure to apply systems thinking are key barriers to decision making for resilience.

    As biomethane and biogas become more common, including for grid injection, a consistent approach to measuring carbon intensity is needed. Join our lead advisor for Finance sector and Build Environment, Dustin Courage, for a free online workshop sharing product footprint guidance. 2pm on Tuesday, 18th February Carbon and Energy Professionals New Zealand EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority)

    CEP wish to extend an invitation to a kōrero on ‘Gaseous Biofuels Carbon Intensity - Consultation on Recommended Methodology’ hosted by our collaborating partners Bioenergy Association, on Tuesday, 18 February, 2pm (NZST). Join Dustin Courage from Toitū Envirocare as he leads a discussion on developing a standardised methodology for identifying the renewable origin of feedstocks and calculating the carbon intensity of biogas and biomethane. This methodology will support Renewable Gas Certificates and help gas users assess GHG emissions. As the use of biomethane and biogas grows, particularly for grid injection, a consistent approach to carbon intensity measurement is essential. The draft methodology, based on international standards and industry guidance, is now open for public consultation. Your feedback is welcome. Don’t miss the chance to engage and contribute.

    More than 80% of New Zealand’s exports by value (and more than 60% of global GDP) go to countries with mandatory climate and ESG-related disclosures (proposed or enforced), according to New Zealand Trade and Enterprise. Staying ahead means ensuring your data, processes, and strategies are compliant, accurate, and independently verified. Get in touch with Jo Dixon to hear more on what she gleaned from the event on "Doing Business with the USA" and how Toitū can help you 👍

    We've come across two key functional drivers that can lead to accidental greenwashing in social media: 1️⃣ A tendency to simplify and use absolute green claims; thinking it makes messaging more straightforward (such as "eco" or "green") 2️⃣ Heavily edited content to fit in retrospectively to limited space (or attention spans!) Our advice - don't underestimate your customer's ability to understand climate messaging. Make sure you have an explanation easily accessible for the claims you make, such as on your website. There is a great consumer appetite for credible sustainable information, and telling great stories is likely to attract more attention than brief, oversimplified messaging. #greenwashing #communication #effectivecommunication
