Māori & Pasifika at Transpower

We're empowering the energy future for Aotearoa, and all its peoples. 

We work hard to champion Māori and lift Māori participation in our workforce given our obligations, our whakapapa (ancestry), our whānau (our people), and our whenua connection and kaitiakitanga of New Zealand’s power system. 

Attracting and retaining more Māori at Transpower is a priority, as is working to ensure Transpower becomes more of a kāinga for people who identify as Māori or identify with Te Ao Māori. 

The Wall Walk is one of our Te Ao Māori competence initiatives.  Together with our noho marae experience and our Te Tiriti o Waitangi workshops, they help to build an understanding - of people, place and past – of the things that are held dear in Te Ao Māori (the Māori world). 

With a focus on iwi/hapū whakawhanaungatanga we are also seeking to build enduring and meaningful iwi/hapū relationships and embedding them in the business, so relationships with iwi become part of the normal engagement fabric of Transpower, whether you are tangata whenua or tangata tiriti.
