What we stand for
Our independence is critical
We understand that protecting our independence, real and perceived, is vital to our work. We watch for potential conflicts of interest and manage them transparently. We carry out our work in a way that earns the trust of both partners to te Tiriti o Waitangi. We work in a way that upholds the Office's credibility and reputation.
People matter
We care for our own and each other’s well-being. We are committed to empowering and developing our people. We show respect, foster a culture of belonging, and value diversity. We support one another to respect tikanga Māori.
We act with integrity and courage
We are open, honest, and fair in everything we do. We role-model the standards and behaviours we expect of others. We speak up and do the right thing, even when it is hard. We take responsibility for delivering high-quality work. We listen, speak, and act in a way that preserves mana.
We're here to make a difference
We are clear on what we are trying to achieve and purposeful in how we go about it. We bring our best to the table to achieve exceptional outcomes together. We aim for our work to be relevant to iwi, hapū, and whānau Māori. We aspire to continually improve and adapt to the changing needs and expectations of New Zealanders.
