About

Mission

Founded by biosphere scientist Rebecca Mills in 2008, The Lever Room is an independent strategy and technology company.

Helping leaders build long-term value, commercial resilience and positive impact.

We’re here to cool the climate and bring back nature — now, not later.

The science is clear: we’re pushing beyond the planet’s safe boundaries. At The Lever Room, we’re here to help shift the trajectory.

True resilience demands more than surface-level solutions — it requires a data-driven, systems-based approach.

We translate complexity into practical, measurable outcomes for people, the planet and long-term commercial success.

Our commitment to accountability and transparency means that every decision is built on verifiable, data-driven insight.

  • The Lever Room maintains an ongoing programme of research and development to strengthen the scientific and analytic foundations of our consulting and certification work.

    Our team integrates validated data sources, robust methodologies, and independent expert input to ensure our solutions remain credible, transparent, and grounded in evidence.

  • The Lever Room is committed to responsible data and AI practices that promote transparency, fairness, and integrity.

    1. We source data only from reputable, public, or licensed datasets.

    2. All data is version-controlled and validated for provenance.

    3. Automation and AI are applied solely to improve accuracy and efficiency, never to replace professional judgment.

    4. Clients retain ownership of their data; we never sell, trade, or re-license proprietary information.

    Our approach is reviewed and updated as standards and technologies evolve.

  • All client data is stored on secure, encrypted servers located in New Zealand and Australia, accessible only to authorised project personnel.

    Data is retained for the minimum period required to meet project and legal obligations, then permanently deleted or anonymised.
