Materiality Assessments
Does your business have its priorities right - and can you demonstrate it? Materiality Assessment is a well-established process to identify the business and sustainability topics most material to your organisation, enabling you to respond appropriately.
This process involves interviews and surveys with staff, customers, and important stakeholders, to understand their priorities and how it affects your business. Typically, the process results in:
- A deeper understanding of staff, supplier and customer priorities
- Closer relationships with your most important external stakeholders
- Unique insights that cannot be gained without a third party's involvement
- The ability to reprioritise effort where it will deliver the most value
- Strengthened social licence to operate and business performance

Expertise You Can Trust
Sustainability advice is only valuable if it is practical, defensible, and grounded in the realities of your sector.
Our team specialises in food, farming, and farm-to-market systems across Aotearoa and internationally. We understand the regulatory landscape, export expectations, assurance frameworks, and commercial pressures shaping your operating environment. That means our advice is not theoretical - it is built to work in the real world.
Our recommendations are grounded in sector experience, best practice, and independent insight. The result is advice you can act on with confidence - reducing risk, strengthening integrity, and positioning your organisation for long-term success.
Independence and Impartiality
To protect the integrity of our assurance services and maintain accreditation requirements, we operate with strict independence between advisory and verification activities. In line with the requirements of JAS-ANZ (Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand), we cannot provide advisory services for programmes, systems, or claims that we are engaged to independently verify or audit.
This separation safeguards impartiality, avoids conflicts of interest, and ensures that our verification services remain objective, transparent, and credible. Where appropriate, we can help you understand this boundary and connect you with alternative providers.
