About Us

TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD TO THRIVE

We evolve your business for the sustainable future.

At Go Well Consulting, we not only support and coach organisations with the work to improve their sustainability/ESG performance we help them understand why and how.

We build strong and trusted relationships with our clients while empowering them with the knowledge, capability, and confidence to face up to the challenges and capture the opportunities. We always leave a business and their people better than we found them.

Our purpose

Transforming our world to thrive.

Our values

Authentically passionate

We are in business to make the world a better place, and we are proud of it.

Doing things differently with excellence

We do business differently with integrity and professionalism.

Enjoyment

We believe work should be a fun and rewarding place to spend your time, but not too much time.

Communication & collaboration

We openly and enthusiastically work with others, and exchange knowledge, solutions, ideas, and learnings to maximise the speed and scale of transformational change.

The value we add

Solving problems

With our experience, broad scope of skills, and new ways of thinking we are fantastic problem solvers.

Communicating

We excel at communicating and simplifying the complexities of sustainability to all audiences and facilitating the difficult conversations.

Pragmatism

We stay focused on the facts and understand the balance between sustainability performance and commercial decisions.

Relationships

We build friendly, honest, and trusted relationships.

Our Impacts

1% Policy

We donate 1% of our annual revenue to two charities whose work we greatly admire. 0.5% is donated to Conservation Volunteers New Zealand, the other 0.5% is donated to

Kids Can.

9-day fortnight

At Go Well we operate a 9-day fortnight, except for one team member who operates a 4-day week. The business is open five days a week, but our team alternates their Friday off. The science relating to mental health, stress, and workload couldn't be clearer. Neither could the science around being connected with our families, friends, and the natural world. We recommend you try it.

Volunteering

Being consultants we always battle with the tenison of educating and supporting business to evolve for the sustainable future and physically doing the mahi (work) we all know that needs to be done to regenerate our local ecosystems. Since 2022 we have taken part in the Conservation Volunteers World Environment Day Corporate Tree Planting Challenge. A competition we have won two years running. Just saying…

B Corp

B-Corp is one of the sustainability frameworks we reference in the work we do to transform our world to thrive, so it was only right that we achieved the certification ourselves. The minimum score to achieve B Corp is 80 points, we scored 102.3.

GHG Report

We have measured and mapped our footprint every year, since FY21. You can read our most recent report here.

Biodiversity Credits

We were one of the first five businesses to purchase Aotearoa’s first Biodiversity Credits to protect and enhance Aotearoa’s native species. The biodiversity credits provide financial backing for conservationists and landowners who are taking steps to make the environment safer for native species, but who currently lack funding to achieve their goals. It also means people from all corners of the motu can get involved in preserving local wildlife and strengthening native forests. Credits are purchased through through CarbonZ.

Sustainability
Consultant

Originally hailing from Te Whanganui-a-Tara, she spent several years in Canada following university, during which time she developed a serious drive for keeping resources out of landfill. Outside of sustainability, Kate is passionate about movement (despite being notoriously clumsy) and has been described as “naturally caffeinated”.

Emissions
Consultant

Ko Alix McKenzie tōku ingoa. Nō Tāmaki ahau. Growing up on the Āwhitu Peninsula surrounded by the ocean, it was a love of this landscape that set Alix on a path to becoming an Emissions Consultant. Some of Alix’s other interests include travelling, her film camera, and searching op shops for vintage gems.

Content &
Program Manager

Charlotte Mundell is a jack of all trades with previous work ranging from film and television production to model making, architectural visualisation, and marketing. Charlotte assists us with graphic design, events, and all our content. Charlotte’s hands are always dirty! If not in the garden, then ceramics or some other form of craft.

Communications
Consultant

Prasanna Nara is a communications expert who weaves personality-popping words to bring your brand values to life. Driven by a desire to contribute to a better world, she left the advertising industry to help purpose-led businesses thrive through their communications. Beyond her work, Prasanna finds joy in dancing, crocheting and taking long walks in nature.

Design

Hazel Davies is a graphic designer, design educator, and a people person. She is a self proclaimed generalist and designs things in all matter of mediums and sizes. With Go Well, Hazel visually represents the ideas that help to communicate key messages to our clients and communities. Hazel didn’t realise how lucky she was growing up as the daughter of two Northland hippies and took organic gardens and composting systems for granted for many years! These days she is fighting body corps for the right to have a worm farm and trying to grow food on a balcony garden.

We’re here to evolve business for the sustainable future.
