LLHWP (embodied carbon harvested wood products) reference group

A reference group is being formed to investigate the feasibility of a scheme to recognise the carbon in harvested wood products under Action 4.3 in the ITP - read more about Objective 4 in the plan here.

This work aims to research and shortlist regulatory and nonregulatory options for establishing a scheme to recognise the carbon stored in harvested wood products. This would include commissioning research to assess the feasibility, benefits, costs, risks and distributional impacts of the shortlisted options.

A member of the Reference Group, Lees Seymour represents Māori interests as well as his industry networks alongside others in the wood processing sector.

Ngā Pou a Tāne will also facilitate Mō Rākau Mauri embedding life essence in wood products wānanga, a four-session workshop for te ao Māori perspectives to generate development space for the Māori worldview and economies of wood including customary use applications (such as carving) to be enabled alongside the prevailing uses of wood dominated by the processing industry.

Kim Manunui

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
