ABOUT
Our story and mission
When sustainability work is seen and understood, it builds trust, attracts support, and inspires real change. We help make that happen with GIS and environmental storytelling.
If you're a forward-thinking environmental or agricultural organisation doing the work but struggling to communicate it clearly, let's talk.
Start telling your sustainability story Founded by an environmental scientist with a passion for sustainability communications, Millie Taylor Sustainability was created with a vision to make sustainable solutions and environmental best practice the norm, not just a nice-to-have. Understanding that we often lack the effective communication rather than the sustainable solutions themselves, Millie Taylor Sustainability combines the science with the storytelling to help drive meaningful change.
Having worked in both local government and private consultancy, Millie brings a holistic perspective to environmental challenges and understands the specific communication requirements of different stakeholder groups in the agricultural and environmental space. Paired with expertise in Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Millie uses maps as a tool to display environmental data and communicate sustainability concepts.

Millie Taylor Sustainability can help you turn your environmental work into technical and summary reports, farmer case studies, articles and blogs, website copy, and social media posts, also supporting with green claims.

Book a GIS or Sustainability Storytelling consult "Millie’s Sustainability Communications Workshop helped us put Mīti’s values front and centre in a way that’s real and impactful. She guided us through the process of defining the core messages that speak to who we are: low-carbon, nourishing, and proudly connected to New Zealand’s land and culture. Her insights helped us fine-tune how we talk about what we do and why we do it, from the health benefits to the environmental care that drives Mīti. Millie’s genuine passion for sustainability shone through every step, and we left with a clearer, stronger path forward. It’s not just a plan—it’s a deeper connection to our purpose. We are looking forward to working together more in the future."
