July webinar recaps: ESG, environmental credits and Advances in groundwater monitoring

Untangling Environmental Credits: Assessing Environmental Social Governance (ESG) to achieve competitive advantage
Thank you to Dr. Goslik Schepers for joining our webinar series and for presenting a clear and compelling session that explored social governance and how it can achieve a competitive advantage. There were many things we learnt from his presentation, read on for some of the key takeaways.
- Huge funding gap – nature repair needs ~$700B+/yr but gets only ~$150B/yr, so private capital is essential.
- High-integrity credits are the fix – ENVOMARK credits reward measured, verified outcomes, not promises.
- Not all credits are equal – assured credits beat vague bundled or stacked alternatives.
- Two levers make markets work – a Market Activation Fund plus a Risk-adjusted Offset Hierarchy.
- It’s already working – $3.2M+ reinvested and 65+ tonnes of nitrogen kept out of the Reef.

Advances in groundwater monitoring: transforming what’s possible
Our second micro-webinar presentation drew a huge crowd; there is certainly interest in how groundwater monitoring has advanced.
Groundwater systems are dynamic, so a single manual reading rarely reflects what’s actually happening. Continuous, telemetered monitoring is the most effective way to produce a live, traceable, and defensible picture of conditions and to make decisions you can stand behind at audit.
- Why it matters: Groundwater systems are dynamic, so occasional manual readings miss critical changes and lead to decisions that are hard to defend. Continuous monitoring gives a live, traceable, defensible picture.
- The technology has evolved: From manual dip meters, to data loggers, to remote telemetry, to cloud platforms….Each step means fewer site visits, higher-frequency data, and closer to real-time insight.
- Getting it right depends on fit-for-purpose design: Match sensors, power, and telemetry (radio, cellular, or satellite) to site conditions, access, safety, frequency needs, and project duration.
- Data only pays off when it’s centralised: HydroTerra’s DataStream™ platform brings field and lab data together with dashboards, visualisation, alarms, and integrations to turn data into decisions.
