The Verity NZ office in Methven opened in July 2024
Verity NZ is a subsidiary of Verity Nature led by Duncan and Fee Ensor, high country farmers from the Rakaia Gorge in Mid Canterbury.
We take care of all project development, implementation, registration and the ongoing monitoring for your project in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM).
Our staff have a broad range of experience and are experts at setting up and managing long-term carbon projects.
We are supported by Verity Nature who are a global carbon and co–benefits project developer that provide a “one–stop–shop, seed to credit model” with projects in Australia, New Zealand, Kenya and Uganda.
This allows Verity NZ to access technology, finance, carbon markets and expertise that would otherwise be difficult to get.
Our diverse team of world–leading experts cover every aspect of your project (from seed to credit).
Traditional funding models are often unstable, with changing priorities leading to funding being withdrawn, resulting in negative financial and environmental impacts.
As a “profit for purpose” developer of carbon and co–benefit projects, Verity NZ offers a model for “commercialising conservation.”
Verity NZ manages all aspects of carbon farming, collaborating with landowners to plan, develop and maintain projects, as well as measuring, verifying and selling carbon credits.
How does it work?
The land entered into the carbon project has a covenant placed on it. Verity NZ covers all reasonable costs associated with the project and shares the proceeds from the sale of carbon and co-benefit credits.
What does it cost the landowners?
The landowner is responsible for paying council rates.
How involved is the landowner?
It is your land, you decide. We will work with you to make sure we are all on the same page.
Will there be ongoing jobs for locals?
Absolutely, there will be jobs created for the life of the project (60 years is the usual project lifespan) depending on what agreements individual have with Verity NZ.
