What we stand for
Humanity is about to step off a sustainability cliff.
Humanity is about to step off a sustainability cliff unless we rapidly transition to environmentally sustainable practices — in just about everything we do.
Our Purpose is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable planetary ecosystem.We don’t need to wait for some technological “silver bullet” to save us, we already have all the solutions we need, we just need to get into action and apply them.
Our Mission is to get organizations into Nature Positive action.For organizations to get into effective Nature Positive action, they need to put environmental outcomes on the same footing as economic outcomes. We therefore focus on enabling organizations to apply the same level of rigour and oversight around the achievement of environmental outcomes as they do around the achievement of economic outcomes.And we enable them to make transparent and intentional trade-offs between environmental and economic outcomes.
Our values
Connection
We need to look past the consumer-based roles and identities that have increasingly come to define us - I am what I consume – and that are driving much of the damage we are doing to ourselves and the planet. We need to put money back in its place - as a means to an end, rather than the end in itself. We need to stop hiding behind the corporate veil and start doing what we know is right. This means fostering authentic human relationships and meaningful connections around the things that really matte.
Impact
The time for talk has past. We are not here to admire the problem. We are here to make a
measurable difference. We maintain line of sight to outcomes and focus on actions that have impact.
Inclusion
We are all part of the planetary ecosystem, so all our actions and inactions have consequences. We are all part of the problem, we all need to be part of the solution. When all voices are heard, our sustainability solutions are better, get implemented faster and are more enduring.

Our team
Nature Positive Action is the creation of serial entrepreneurs who have already built disruptive and purpose-driven ventures, products, and services in management consulting, project management, risk management, and social impact measurement.
Nature Positive Action represents the culmination of our work, bringing together insights, frameworks, principles, processes, and tools that have been developed and proven in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors and focusing them on the challenges of accelerating the transition to a sustainable planetary ecosystem.
Uniting organizations around non-financial goals, and enabling them to collaborate and take action to achieve them, has always been at the heart of what we do, as is a relentless focus on outcomes and meaningful, measurable results.
