How we will demonstrate progress against our corporate plan
Our Corporate Plan to 2030 sets the strategic direction for our organisation and the longterm change we want to see for nature and people to thrive together. The outcomes in this section relate to each Well-being Objective and show how we will turn that ambition into measureable progress.
We outline the key changes we aim to achieve by 2030 and how we will track them over time. This helps us explain the difference our work is making and how we will monitor our impact.
By clearly setting out what we are working towards and how we will measure it, we strengthen transparency, build understanding with partners and communities, and show how today’s actions contribute to lasting improvements for nature, people, and communities.

Our Leadership and Culture |
By 2030, we will lead with clarity and purpose. People will feel trusted, supported and confident to act, helping us deliver for nature, climate and people. We will build strong leadership at all levels and create an inclusive, supportive culture where learning and good judgement guide our work. |
We’ll know we’re succeeding when colleagues feel engaged, leaders model our values and learning becomes part of how we grow as an organisation

Our Services |
By 2030, our services will be simple, clear and easy to use - helping people work with us and supporting better outcomes for Wales. We will design services around real needs, remove unnecessary barriers and make sure information is accessible for all. |
We’ll know we’re succeeding when services run smoothly across teams and when user feedback helps us improve.

|
Our Governance |
By 2030, our governance will be clearer and more aligned with our goals, helping decisions happen at the right pace. We will simplify decisionmaking, clarify roles and ensure governance supports delivery and good risk management. |
We’ll know we’re succeeding when decisions feel simpler, risks are managed earlier and governance helps rather than slows progress.

|
Our Communication, Collaboration and Advocacy |
By 2030, NRW will speak with one clear voice - working confidently with partners, communities and government to support collective action. We will listen well, communicate consistently and build trusted relationships that strengthen our influence. |
We’ll know we’re succeeding when partners find us easy to work with, when collaboration delivers results and when our voice helps guide wider action.
|
|
Our Evidence, Data and Insights |
By 2030, evidence will guide decisions made by NRW and our partners - clear, trusted and used early enough to shape better outcomes. We will improve how evidence is collected, maintained and shared so it is easier to find, understand and use. |
We’ll know we’re succeeding when evidence is used routinely at the start of planning, when our data is reliable and when partners draw on our insights.
