Quantifying your impact on nature
wELLINGTON | Monday 27 jULY | 5:30 PM
Join Dr Kate Meyer to learn how businesses and government can use Planetary Accounting to integrate nature into business decision making, derisk operations and supply chains, meet international regulatory requirements, and establish market differentiation.
​
Sustainability isn't working. Customers and regulators are demanding science-backed evidence of environmental performance, and they don't just care about carbon. Businesses are investing in environmental assessments and credentials but are left confused by results and disappointed by the lack of market cut-through. Meanwhile disinformation, greenwashing, and BAU are driving us into environmental bankruptcy.
Planetary Accounting simplifies the measurement, management, and communication of environmental performance with tools like "Planetary Facts" - think nutrition facts, for planetary health. Come along to learn how you can measure the impacts of your business and your products and services, beyond carbon, considering water, waste, biodiversity, forestland, air quality and more.

Where: Rutherford House Lecture Theatre (RHLT3), Ground Floor Victoria University of Wellington. 33 Bunny Street, Pipitea, Wellington, 6011.
​
When: Doors open at 5:00pm, with the talk running from 5:30–6:30pm followed by networking until 7:00pm.
Kate Meyer is a sustainability scientist, engineer, and creator of Planetary Accounting, an internationally recognised, peer-reviewed framework that translates global limits for nature into actionable metrics.
​
Planetary Accounting is like Google Translate for environmental stewardship. It makes complex data easy for anyone to understand. For example, it underpins “Planetary Facts” – like Nutrition Facts for sustainability but instead of calories, protein and fat, they set out the carbon, waste, biodiversity and other environmental footprints of a product. Kate’s work has been recognised on platforms including TEDx, Auckland University’s 40Under40.
