Why did we collect 78,000 seeds from 20 eucalyptus trees at The Quoin? How did our arborists ascend to the highest, safest point in the middle of each tree? How are seeds processed and sorted? And why restore an ecosystem at all? We answer all these questions and more in the first edition of The Quoin Journal.

Conserving wildlife habitat is critical... but so is connecting conserved habitat. Enter bird bridges, crab cross-overs, turtle tunnels and wildlife overpasses. Learn more: https://buff.ly/47l6DUS And even more: https://buff.ly/4gnj4U6

“Conversations about carbon and natural capital accounting often happen in very privileged rooms,” says Sumday co-founder Jess Richmond . "But 90% of the companies in the world are small and medium businesses. This means we all miss the chance to hear from different voices that could transform the way things are done. “I don't want non-financial accounting to be something that only large organisations or consultancies get to drive or understand. I want this to be as normal as it comes. “Because I think when it's normal, you get a ground-up swell, and that’s when real change happens.” #nonfinancialaccounting #valuingnature

So incredible to chat with one of the most talented writers in the country, the wonderful Bronte McHenry 🦅🌱 Check out the article here and sign up to the newsletter, it’s an absolute treat for your inbox: https://lnkd.in/gecpDKkB We’re so grateful to have Wedgetail on our cap table, the values alignement and their strong understanding of the vision we have for the world make working together really special ✨ In the beginning, we said accountants need to evolve into carbon accountants—an essential step if we were truly going to democratize access to accounting for more than just dollars and cents. This would be essential in truly embedding non financial accounting across every business, finally driving action and changing the way we value organisations. Thanks to our partners for bringing this to life: https://lnkd.in/g6sXcpqk Carbon is just the blueprint, stay tuned 🌱 🌏

Financial accounting can’t accommodate the breadth and power of businesses in the 21st century... But non-financial accounting can. In our latest newsletter, we chat with Sumday co-founders Jessica Richmond and Lindsay Ellis about why "non-financial accounting work is fundamental to driving change, and ultimately, saving the world”.
