Kiwibank has become one of New Zealand’s early adopters of biodiversity credits, purchasing credits generated through Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari in partnership with Ekos. We asked them five questions about why.

A new international standard is changing how organisations think about sustainability. ISO/UNDP 53001:2026 provides a management system approach for the UN SDGs, and the Ekos Sustainable Pathway is designed to take you there.

We’ve been asking clients the same question lately, and the answer comes back almost word for word every time: “Good, busy. Really busy, actually.” Here’s what we're hearing underneath it — and why the sustainability conversation and the good-business conversation are turning into the same conversation.

OPIS, A Dow Jones Company, has reported on Ekos CEO Sean Weaver's remarks at the UN's COP17 land and desertification summit in Mongolia, on how modest contribution claims could unlock private finance for nature.

The Press has reported on the growing case for a nature credit market in Aotearoa New Zealand, featuring Ekos and the Tākaka Hill Biodiversity Group Trust's pilot biodiversity credit project.

We recently received some exciting news. Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari has been named the top-selling biodiversity credit project globally for May 2026, accounting for 43% of total biodiversity credit sales worldwide — as reported by Carbon News and confirmed by Bloomlabs, a platform that analyses global biodiversity credit market transactions.

The Ekos team has been connecting with businesses and communities across Aotearoa. From Josh Leenhouwers sharing insights on energy resilience and decarbonisation in Nelson, to our Auckland team joining the Silverdale Business Well+Wise Expo, it’s been inspiring to see so many people exploring practical pathways towards a more sustainable future.

We’ve recently welcomed two fantastic new team members to Ekos. Shannon Gormley joins us as a Sustainability Consultant and Carla Araya as our Finance Administrator, bringing fresh expertise and perspectives as we continue to support businesses on their sustainability journeys.

Ekos is partnering with the Plan Vivo Foundation to support nature carbon project developers across multiple countries, providing business coaching to help community-led initiatives become financially viable while preserving their environmental and social values.

Climate change is no longer something for the future—it’s already shaping how businesses operate today. From extreme weather to rising costs and resource shortages, the impacts are real and growing. For organisations, this means one thing: climate risk is now part of doing business.
