Ākina partners with Chapter Zero New Zealand

Chapter Zero New Zealand, hosted by the Institute of Directors (IoD) New Zealand, has announced Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading impact development consultancy, the Ākina Foundation, as its Official Impact Partner.

Ākina is Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading impact development consultancy and offers a unique range of tailored consulting and business development services including impact consultancy, community, enterprise, procurement and investment services.

Ākina Chief Executive Nicola Nation highlighted the strong alignment of Chapter Zero NZ with the impact-focused values of the Foundation.

“We believe that enterprise (or business) is the best vehicle to achieve and scale sustainable positive impact.  We believe that business, including profit, can be delivered while supporting people and the planet to thrive.

“Partnering with Chapter Zero NZ is one way we can support this approach across the full breadth of New Zealand companies and organisations,” says Ms Nation.

Individual directors are encouraged to join Chapter Zero New Zealand as Supporters, allowing them to engage regularly with the director community and subject matter experts, as well as access tools and resources that will give them practical support in the boardroom.

We are grateful for the support of the Chapter Zero New Zealand Foundation Partners: Ākina (Official Impact Partner), Anthem (Official Communications Partner), Dentons Kensington Swan (Official Legal Partner) and KPMG (Official Advisory Partner).
