Northpower acknowledges the relationship and connection we have with the environment goes well beyond the goods and services we receive from it like food, fuel, and clean water. Our environment is not only our home but more importantly where we stand, our tūrangawaewae – where we live, learn, work and earn a living, play, and socialise.

Northpower’s behaviours and values recognise the role of ‘kaitiakitanga’ that expresses the importance of guardianship and protection of the environment. We recognise that a number of our activities have the potential to impact on the environment, and our environmental objectives are to:

• ensure the organisation’s operations minimise the impacts they may have to our environment;
• fulfil our legal responsibilities; and
• maintain a safe and working environment in accordance with the ISO 14001: 2015 accreditation requirements.
