Earth+ Assessments

Earth Positive Terra Nova hz

Ready your organisation for the future

Plan for the future of your business. Ensure resilience in times of extreme events and be Earth+ to ensure your organisation can thrive.

For SMEs, NfPs and Social Enterprises readying themselves for the future and seeking out ways to optimise their potential, without compromising ethics or our planet.

Find out how well your organisation is tracking on it’s resilience, carbon emissions and contributions to Earth. Get recognition for what you’ve done so far and get clear direction on where to go next.

These assessments include a full review of governance, operations, customer/client engagement, community engagement and environmental impact.

An Earth+ (earth positive) organisation makes products or services that ensure that people and the environment flourish from end to end and are the leaders in future markets.  It is different to mainstream sustainability and extractive approaches that can allow an organisation to largely continue as before, without challenging their full impact or making major and necessary shifts.

Organisations that achieve good practice or excellence in their assessment will be eligible for Earth+ Accreditation. (The first accredited organisations will be announced and celebrated as part of Te Ao Earth Week later this year.)

Assessments cost from $1,500-$5,000 depending on the size of your organisation.

FAQs

Who is the Earth+ Assessment for?

For small and medium enterprises, not-for-profits, social enterprises, coops and other organisational structures.

How much does it cost?

The assessments cost between NZ$1,500-$3,000 depending on the size of the organisation. The cost reflects the time required to carryout the full assessment – inevitably the bigger the organisation the more review required, which is why there is a cost range.

We aim to keep the costs as low as possible to make it achievable for smaller organisations, however, this does not mean we compromise expertise – our team are leaders in this space.

How long does it take?

We keep your time to a minimum so that it doesn’t impinge on your daily work.  We ask organisations to commit to a 2 day on site review and 1-2 days of follow-up questions and support. The rest we do from our end. We are expert reviewers and take the burden of assessing and reviewing away from you.

What do we get on completion?
  • A comprehensive report of your assessment, including details on good practice, areas for improvement and direct recommendations
  • The Earth+ identikit that you can carry on signage for your organisation
  • Membership of the Earth+ community, including access to discounted service providers and expert advice from organisations aligned to Earth+ practice.
  • Access to VIP invitations for Terra Nova events and opportunities to promote your organisation.
Are Earth+ Assessments new?

Yes, the Earth+ Assessments began in 2024 as a result of many smaller organisations asking us for support to propel themselves ahead, embracing the changeable world we now live in and being fit for the future.

We will be celebrating the first Earth+ Accredited organisations (assessed organisations of good or excellent performance) in November 2025 as part of Te Ao Earth Week.
