Toitū Envirocare

What Toitū Envirocare does

Toitū Envirocare (legal entity Enviro-Mark Solutions Limited) is a New Zealand-based environmental certification and advisory company founded in 2001 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, itself now part of the Bioeconomy Science Institute. The company provides science-led climate and environmental management certifications, independent greenhouse gas (GHG) assurance, and advisory services to organisations across New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom, with audit delivery capability in 17 countries. Its product portfolio spans the Climate Impact Certification Programme (Carbon Reduce, Net Carbon Zero and Climate Positive tiers), the Enviromark environmental management system certification (Bronze, Gold and Diamond tiers), standalone GHG assurance statements, lifecycle and climate-risk advisory services, and ICROA-approved carbon credit retirement services.

Underlying technology centres on the proprietary eManage software platform, which supplies members with thousands of supplier-specific emission factors for building and auditing GHG inventories. Certifications and verifications are delivered to ISO 14064-1 (2018), ISO 14064-3 (2019), ISO 14065 (2020), ISO 14066 (2011), ISO 14067 (2018), PAS 2050 (2011), and ISO 14001 (2015) reference frameworks, with JASANZ accreditation providing the regulatory authority to issue internationally recognised statements. The platform is positioned as a science-led assurance infrastructure rather than a consumer software product.

The business operates an enterprise B2B model with recurring subscription membership, annual audit fees invoiced in two parts, and quote-based pricing for advisory and assurance engagements; a more flexible subscription option was introduced in September 2024. Revenue streams are a mix of subscription recurring revenue, professional services fees, and transaction fees on carbon credit retirements. Customers range from large corporates (ASB Bank, ANZ, Toyota NZ, Silver Fern Farms, Resene) to government entities (NZ Treasury, Department of Conservation, Port of Auckland, NZ Post) and mission-driven organisations (Auckland Museum, Ecostore), with 918 client organisations and 1,005 certifications issued in FY2024/25. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with a community-led referral motion through the certified-member directory and network.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Ekos: New Zealand-based carbon accounting and forestry offsetting platform serving similar NZ and Australasian enterprise customers. Comparable as a regional adjacent player where Toitū does advisory + verification and Ekos provides software + offsetting.

Direct peers

• Carbon Trust: UK-headquartered independent certification and advisory body helping organisations measure, reduce, certify and offset emissions. Highly comparable to Toitū's science-led certification, assurance, and advisory stack across carbon and broader sustainability.

Broad incumbents

• DNV: Global assurance and certification conglomerate with a well-established carbon/climate verification practice and JASANZ accreditations. Overlaps with Toitū on ISO 14064 verification and assurance services for enterprise and government clients.
• Bureau Veritas: International testing, inspection and certification (TIC) major with a sustainability/ESG verification practice. Directly comparable on third-party GHG verification and broader environmental management system certification.
• EcoVadis: Global sustainability ratings platform widely used in procurement due diligence across supply chains. Overlaps with Toitū Enviromark and Climate Impact as an adjacent route by which enterprise customers receive verified sustainability ratings.
• TÜV SÜD: Global TIC provider offering GHG verification, ISO 14001 EMS certification and carbon footprint services. Competes for the same enterprise and government assurance and certification engagements as Toitū.

Emerging players

• Watershed: Enterprise carbon accounting and reporting platform combining GHG calculation with disclosures and audit-grade outputs. Adjacent competitor for the software + disclosure workflow that surrounds Toitū's assurance services.
• Normative: Carbon accounting SaaS platform that automates GHG inventories and supply chain Scope 3 emissions. Comparable as an emerging software-first challenger whose automation could compress Toitū's advisory hours per client.

Others

• Verra: Operator of the VCS voluntary carbon standard and other climate crediting programmes. Not a direct certification body, but Toitū retires credits from Verra-style standards and competes for the integrity narrative in offsetting services.
• Gold Standard: Swiss-based standard-setting body for high-integrity carbon credits. Comparable as an ecosystem participant whose credit ratings and methodologies feed Toitū's offsetting services and shape customer expectations on credit integrity.
