From footprints to forests: our team shares what it’s really like on the ground at Ekos carbon projects, experiencing the full circle of high-integrity carbon removal in action.

Gorse can act as a nurse crop for native regeneration under the ETS. Ekos explains how to identify and ground-truth native seedlings growing up through gorse canopy on your property.

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari and Ekos have been named key participants in the government’s biodiversity credits pilot programme, marking a major step for New Zealand’s Nature Credits Market.

Meet the Ekos Nature-Based Solutions team and learn about the hands-on fieldwork behind our carbon projects, the tools they rely on, and how their work contributes to high-integrity outcomes.

Ekos works with organisations across three core pillars: climate, community, and biodiversity, helping them measure and reduce emissions, support community-led forest carbon projects, and protect Aotearoa’s biodiversity.

Ekos highlights the outstanding work of McHugh & Shaw, a B Corp certified auditor that independently verifies and certifies clients’ carbon emissions to ensure credible, trustworthy climate action.

Ekos looks back on 2024: registering 316 hectares into the NZ ETS, advancing biodiversity markets and Plan Vivo investment readiness, and presenting at international forestry and carbon conferences.

Thankyou Payroll shares how working with Ekos since 2017 has sharpened its carbon emissions calculations, helping it become New Zealand’s only climate positive payroll intermediary.

Hinewai Reserve is a striking example of native forest reverting naturally on former farmland in Banks Peninsula, showing what’s possible when land is left to regenerate over time.

Learn what it takes to successfully register reverting native forest land into the ETS, with expert guidance from Ekos Carbon Forestry Consultant Narendra Chand.

Ekos’ Carbon Reduction Tool helps organisations track emissions in detail, set science-aligned reduction targets, and build actionable plans to cut their carbon footprint.

Meridian Energy partnered with Seed NZ Natives to direct-seed 15 hectares of native forest at Ruatapu on the West Coast, achieving 6,800 healthy seedlings per hectare within six months.

Carbon Forestry Consultant Narendra Chand explores Nepal’s community-based forest management models, which have helped nearly double the country’s forest cover since 1992.

Kowtow’s Logistics Manager Luke Kell shares how the ethical fashion label measures its carbon footprint, tackles freight emissions, and works toward a low-carbon future.

Ekos explains the carbon accounting behind forests, showing how tree growth, harvesting, and forest protection each shape the global carbon balance.

Hello Period’s COO Kat Sprowell talks carbon measurement, reducing freight emissions, and the reusable period care brand’s push to divert a billion single-use products from landfill by 2030.

Using an apple-tree analogy, Ekos explains the marginal cost of abatement and why targeting the cheapest emissions cuts first delivers the most benefit for every dollar spent.

Kauri Trees Ltd is planting what could become New Zealand’s largest Kauri forest, using nurse trees and RFID-tagged seedlings on a former Otago pasture, with Ekos assisting its ETS registration.
