Why we exist and how we work
Purpose & Proof
Founded by biosphere scientist Rebecca Mills in 2008, The Lever Room is an independent strategy and technology company.
Helping leaders build long-term value credible impact.
The science is clear: climate and nature pressures are reshaping risk, regulation and market expectations.
We help organisations respond with clarity and confidence they can stand behind. We translate complexity into practical, measurable outcomes linking science, strategy, and systems so decisions hold up over time.
We’re here to cool the climate and bring back nature — now, not later.
Every decision we support is grounded in verifiable evidence, not assumption or opinion.
-
The Lever Room is committed to responsible data and AI practices that promote transparency, fairness, and integrity.
We source data only from reputable, public, or licensed datasets.
All data is version-controlled and validated for provenance.
Automation and AI are applied solely to improve accuracy and efficiency, never to replace professional judgment.
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.
-
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.
-
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.
