Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi

We aim to respect the constitutional significance of Te Tiriti through the way we work.

For us, this means identifying the opportunities to give effect to Te Tiriti through our mahi and to show how we are delivering on those commitments.

We’ve created a set of principles that identify the most important aspects of our work, and how we intend to demonstrate these principles.

• Meaningful partnership: For us, this signifies a relationship similar to partnership, with a duty to act reasonably, honestly and in good faith.
  
  
• Equity: For us, this means making sure Māori have equitable access to our activities in a way that enables participation and reflects their aspirations.
  
  
• Active protection: For us, this means protecting and preserving iwi Māori interests, including taonga and recognising the right of iwi and Māori to operate within their cultural preferences.
