Impact Investment

EnviroStrat works with a wide range of domestic and international impact investors

Impact Investment is a rapidly growing segment of the New Zealand investment market due to the promise of delivering positive financial returns alongside deliberate and measurable environmental and social co-benefits.  Impact investment funds are increasingly appealing to government, trusts, corporate and institutional investors, with year-on-year growth of at least >NZD$350m of new dedicated funding available over the last five years. 

Whilst New Zealand is following an international pattern of increased availability of impact investment funding, there has not been a commensurate increase in the supply of large-scale domestic impact investment opportunities. 

EnviroStrat is one of a small number of New Zealand based multidisciplinary organisations capable of bringing together the complex science, economic and commercial elements necessary to create an ‘investable’ impact opportunity, assist in its execution, and deliver evidence of benefits created.

EnviroStrat has a proven methodology and track record in uniting diverse natural resource, climate resilience, marine, and terrestrial projects, drawing in public, institutional, non-profit, and private investment.

Greenwave Aotearoa

EnviroStrat proudly owns and operates New Zealand’s first regenerative ocean farming initiative, dedicated to advancing sustainable seaweed cultivation. Our regenerative farming approach requires zero external inputs—no added nutrients or feeds—yet yields significant economic, social, and environmental benefits. Through Greenwave Aotearoa’s innovative commercial model, we are restoring ocean ecosystems, capturing blue carbon, and removing excess nutrients from marine environments. The cultivated seaweed offers versatile applications, including food, biostimulants, animal supplements, and pharmaceuticals.
