A new report has found most businesses are keen to invest in nature projects - but want easy and trustworthy ways to do it.
The Sustainable Business Network surveyed 283 businesses of various sizes throughout the country about their attitudes to putting their money into nature projects.
The findings include 82 per cent being keen to "do the right thing"; 57 per cent reported being asked by stakeholders to be more environmentally friendly; 68 per cent said the economic situation is hindering their ability to do that and 28 per cent said they didn't know which projects to support.
As a result of the report the Sustainable Business Network launched its Regenerate Nature Programme in Auckland yesterday, aimed at connecting environmental projects with businesses looking to support them.
Kathryn speaks with Sam Rowland, Sustainable Business Network's Programme Manager and lead author of the report and Pete Gillespie, founder and head brewer of Garage Project which took part in the survey and has been involved with various sustainability projects.
