People are at
the heart of our
philosophy

People

NEXT believes in the power of people. Great people, from the generosity of our founders, Neal and Annette 
Plowman, to the people on the ground doing the work to restore our biodiversity and inspire the world’s first Nature Positive country.

We understand people are the most important lever for transformational change, so we support inspirational leaders who can bring teams and communities together to help achieve our ambitious goals.

By bringing great people together, we support our mission to leave a legacy for future generations of New Zealanders. And we unite, inspire and enrich people’s lives through the restoration of nature.
