Upstream & Measure Up

Upstream and Measure Up help New Zealand businesses create social and sustainable outcomes and help businesses with broader outcome reporting.

Based in Canterbury, Upstream is a social procurement community connecting suppliers with construction and commercial buyers. When suppliers win work through the network, they commit a share of their margin as an Upstream Contribution. That funding is pooled and distributed to charity partners supporting the wellbeing of children and young people. Buyers gain trusted suppliers and measurable social outcomes, at no extra cost.

Measure Up is our sustainability software, available to any organisation that wants to measure, manage and report its impact. Businesses track carbon, energy, waste, water, social procurement, wellbeing and training across their sites and projects. They then turn that data into dashboards, Story Cards and Impact Reports that strengthen tenders and stakeholder reporting. Through our partnership with Ekos, clients can access expert carbon reduction planning and independent certification.

Together, we work where social and environmental outcomes meet: the supply chain. We believe how businesses buy, and who they buy from, is one of the most powerful levers for a thriving Aotearoa.
