It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
An increasing number of investors, including banks, asset managers, and entities like sovereign wealth and pension funds, are showing a preference for investing in eco-friendly companies. This shift is driven by growing environmental consciousness, potential regulatory changes, and consumer advocacy. Companies that negatively impact the environment are likely to face significant challenges in the future. For example, in New Zealand, banks with major agricultural investments are under scrutiny for the environmental effects of their financial choices, with a focus on issues like water quality and climate change. Recognising these challenges, investors are keen to understand the environmental implications of their investments. This has led to a demand for companies to disclose their environmental impact, a process that currently relies on manual and time-consuming data collection. Often, the quality of this data is compromised, and there's a tendency to focus on company practices rather than actual impact. KIPs present an opportunity to bridge this gap, offering companies a way to provide live, accurate and traceable environmental data to their investors.
