What our SoI covers
Our SoI sets out our strategic intentions and how we aim to achieve them.
The SoI is split into 6 sections:
- Our purpose, vision and values — Tō mātou kaupapa, matakite, uara hoki
- Our governance and structure — Tō mātou whakaruruhau, me tōna anga
- Our operating environment — Tō mātou horopaki mahi
- Working with our stakeholders — Te mahi tahi me te hunga whai pānga ki a mātou
- Our strategic approach — Tō mātou ara rautaki
- Reporting and measuring our performance — Te whakapūrongo me te ine i ā mātou mahi
The SoI should be read alongside our Statement of Performance Expectations (SPE).
