  This report refers to requirements under the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the National Environmental Standards for Plantation Forestry (NES-PF) as of June 2023. At the time of writing, central government announced changes to the NES-PF in relation to permanent forests and started consultation on a range of significant changes to the ETS, including the permanent forest category. As these policy changes were not finalised at the time of writing, these are not fully reflected in this report. Readers are encouraged to check the latest information on the Ministry for Primary Industries’ website.
