Delta Foundry — Climate Consulting for Philippine Institutions

PROOF OF WORK

Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority

THE MANDATE

Position Subic Bay as Southeast Asia's leading green port city. SBMA Chairman directive — a climate mandate at the institutional level.

THE SITUATION

Mandate approved at the top. No deployment pathway. Port Operations identified as the entry point but lacked the in-house architecture to convert a climate directive into a running programme.

WHAT THEY NEEDED

A capability programme that installs the execution architecture for SBMA to design, fund, and deliver climate programmes against their green port mandate. Structured methodology, vetted delivery partner, board-ready governance.

WHAT THEY GOT

Scoped mandate with Port Operations. Selected Creative HQ (NZ) as delivery partner — 22 years applied methodology, 7 years Philippine public-sector track record. Negotiated cost, structure, and timeline. Board-ready brief endorsed to SBMA Chairman. First cohort selecting right now.

That's why we built Delta Foundry.

Climate mandates land faster than institutions can act on them. We close that gap — toward one measurable outcome: CO2e reduced in the Philippines.

We map the mandate and surface the incentives. We convene vetted partners from our NZ network. We build the operating framework the programme runs on. We orchestrate from board approval through delivery. Not a deck. Not a strategy. A running programme.

We build the architecture that makes it executable.

— § ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Built at the seam where mandate meets execution.

Built and scaled the Philippines' first on-demand storage venture (Kahon.ph), a tech-enabled warehousing and logistics model that combined digital customer experience with real-world operational execution. Serving institutional clients across government, corporates, hospitals, and major operators exposed a recurring pattern: the organisations with the greatest pressure and resources to innovate often lacked the bandwidth, execution structure, and specialist capability to deliver change.

That same pattern later surfaced in his climate research in New Zealand. Studying NZX-listed companies from 2010 to 2021, he found that stronger ESG performance was associated with lower carbon emissions, but that outcomes depended on substantive execution rather than signalling alone. The research also showed that this relationship weakened in larger and more capital-intensive firms, where transition is harder to deliver in practice.¹

Delta Foundry was built to turn climate mandates into running programs that reduce emissions, faster.

¹ Carlos Domingo, Master of Management research, Whitireia/WelTec, 2024. NZX-listed companies, 2010–2021; 2,254 firm-quarter observations.

The Philippines pledged to cut emissions 75% by 2030.Current policies put it on track for an 84% increase instead.

Most institutions have a climate mandate. Few have the architecture to execute it.
