Generating comprehensive environmental intelligence would enable hapū and iwi to engage more effectively with regional councils and central government on resource management issues, advocating for sustainability policies and ensuring their interests are represented. Māori land trusts, incorporations, and iwi rūnanga managing farming and forestry operations would benefit from detailed data for continuous improvement, transparency, accountability, cultural alignment, and informed decision-making. This data also helps these entities meet their environmental reporting obligations, ensuring compliance and demonstrating commitment to environmental stewardship.

Additionally, environmental data can enhance branding and marketing efforts, appealing to consumers who prioritize sustainably produced products. For those performing well environmentally, this data can secure favourable loans and investments from the sustainable finance sector, providing alternative funding pathways. As detailed environmental reporting becomes compulsory, a Kaitiaki Intelligence Platform could generate significant revenue through data sales, supporting further investments in sustainability initiatives.
