WHAT WE Do
At our core, we are the custodians of the Planetary Accounting Framework. Everything we do is underpinned by our R&D programme to maintain and update the framework to remain aligned with the latest science.
​
Our Key Activities

Our Initiatives
Our PAN-led initiatives are the projects where we see opportunities for Planetary Accounting to unlock the greatest quantum of change. We work in collaboration with key partners to establish robust methods and tools for specific applications, and to generate action for systemic change.
PLanetary Facts
Planetary Facts is a new approach to robustly calculate, manage, and communicate the environmental performance of products in the context of critical global environmental limits. Planetary Facts enhance business decision-making and enable consumers to leverage purchasing power to support products that are better for the planet.

We are now inviting Partners and Sponsors to join our pilot.
This work was funded by The Warehouse Group and the RiddetInstitute at Massey University, and supported through in kind time donated by Beca Ltd, and thinkstep anz.
Planetary Targets
From light-touch support to become less carbon-centric in your sustainability efforts or you need rigourously derived science-based targets across all of the Planetary Boundaries, our Planetary Targets toolkit helps companies assess material environmental impacts set targets, identify high impact opportunities, evaluate and communicate performance, and develop roadmaps to achieve your goals.
PARCs
Our Planetary Accounting for Regions & Cities (PARCs) initiative takes a systematic approach to supporting local governments to underpin environmental goals and decisions with robust science, link action with global frameworks from the Planetary Boundaries and Doughnut Economics to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and enable collective action beyond carbon.
