ONEPOINTFIVE
Helping you perform in a changing climate.
Climate change isn’t waiting
It's already reshaping our world—altering the conditions your organisation operates in. We're heading into uncharted territory, facing impacts and risks that are significant, evolving, and yes, a bit daunting.
And it's not just the physical effects. The policy, regulatory, technology, market, and societal shifts tied to the transition to a low-carbon future are disrupting the status quo now—and they're set to accelerate.
Climate risk isn't unmanageable. With the right understanding and systems, it becomes something you can plan for and act on—bringing clarity, strengthening performance, and uncovering opportunity.
Why we’re different
Onepointfive helps organisations make sense of a rapidly shifting climate and nature-risk landscape—clearly, accurately, and without noise.
We're a specialist practice with our core expertise in climate risk and transition, and nature-related risk and sustainability. Much of our work sits at the intersections—where climate and nature meet strategy, governance, policy, investment, and organisational systems. It's why we bring a multidisciplinary team: the range of expertise your challenge actually requires.
We work with these as distinct specialisations or as a fully integrated climate and nature-related approach—whichever best fits your context.
We bring deep technical capability and practical tools that integrate into how your organisation already works. The result: better decisions, earlier adaptation, and genuine confidence that endures.
We work across corporates, public sector organisations, NGOs, iwi/Māori entities, and community groups. Different sectors, different constraints, different mandates—navigating those differences is core to what we do.
How we work
We start by listening
We immerse ourselves in how your organisation actually works—its operations, challenges, goals, systems, decision pathways, and constraints. Practically managing climate risk only succeeds when it's integrated into these existing structures, not treated as a standalone exercise.
We work with recognised frameworks—then adapt them to fit
We use standards like ISO, TCFD, XRB, and transition frameworks as a starting point. But these tools are first-generation and often written for narrow contexts. We refine and adapt them, where appropriate, so they're practical, proportionate, and fit for your organisation's mandate.
We work alongside you and your team
You bring operational knowledge; we bring climate, risk, and systems capability. Together, we translate frameworks into processes and tools that work inside your existing machinery—transparent, defensible, and manageable. No jargon, no black boxes.
You build capability that endures
Climate risk becomes woven into your organisation's wider risk and decision systems, not bolted on. Your team gains the confidence and competence to apply the methods themselves, and climate considerations become well-managed over time.
What we do
We tackle the hard questions organisations need clear answers to.
Our work spans the areas where climate risk and organisational decisions intersect. We're known for our technical depth, curiosity, and commitment to developing methods that hold up when problems become complex.
We've contributed to the design and development of New Zealand's climate disclosure regime (NZ CS1–3), public sector emissions reporting guidance, financial quantification methods, and a public sector integration framework for applying TCFD and NZ CS1–3.
And we're always keen to partner with others who share our pioneering spirit.
Some of the key areas we work in:
-
Boards and senior leadership need to understand what climate change means for their organisation's business model, strategy, assets, operations, and the value chain they depend on. We provide an evidence-based, decision-useful view of the physical and transition impacts, risks, and opportunities they face now—and those they're expected to, or may, encounter over time.
We help you produce robust climate-related disclosures that you can trust.
-
Whether you're developing or revising your climate strategy or transition plan, navigating new climate-related regulations, or need expert support for a specific adaptation or decarbonisation project, we provide the multidisciplinary capability required to deliver work that's technically robust, practical, and aligned with your organisation's context.
-
We deliver the analysis and data needed for credible decisions—from initial climate-related risk and opportunity assessments to the development and application of practical, decision-useful climate scenarios, through to modelling the financial impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities and quantifying emissions. In short? We provide climate intelligence you can trust and act on.
-
For government organisations in New Zealand and Australia, we translate best-practice climate frameworks into approaches that fit how you work. We adapt standards such as ISO 31000, ISO 14090, ISO 14091, and TCFD—along with the relevant climate disclosure framework for your jurisdiction (NZ CS1–3, AASB/ASRS, or equivalent)—ensuring they align with your organisation's structure and operating model so they can be implemented effectively.
-
Nature-related risk is an emerging but rapidly maturing area of practice. Where climate risk focuses on the impacts of a changing climate, nature-related risk addresses the financial and operational exposures organisations face from environmental degradation and biodiversity loss — ecosystem collapse, supply chain disruption, new regulatory obligations, and reputational damage.
The two are deeply connected. Over half of global economic output depends on nature, and the risks don't sit neatly in separate boxes. That's why we offer nature-related risk as an integrated framework for managing your risk. That’s why we also offer services to help organisations understand and respond to biodiversity and ecosystem dependencies — as part of a fully integrated climate and nature-related risk approach, for those ready to work across both frameworks at once.
Our integrated approach draws on established frameworks including TNFD, and is informed by hands-on work at the intersection of conservation, land use, and organisational risk. We help you identify what's material, build the internal capability to respond, and embed it into governance and strategy in a way that holds up to scrutiny.
