Learn more about us
Northpower’s culture and core behaviours drive our ability to develop and sustain a positive work environment, where everyone is a safety leader with a responsibility to keep themselves and those around them safe.
Our four behaviours are at the core of everything we do.
The taonga that accompany our behaviours were designed by our own people and have great mana within our business. Each behaviour is aligned with a whakatauki (proverb), to explain the essence and meaning behind it.
Every day we see real examples of our people putting our behaviours into action and bringing them to life.
We value our behaviours-based culture, we care about the safety and wellbeing of our people, and we all work together on delivering purposefully to deliver great outcomes.
