Shelving

We want a just, inclusive, and prosperous Aotearoa economy where wealth is shared equitability. To achieve this, we need everyone to grab a paddle.

Supplier diversity is an incredible tool to help create a level playing field for Māori and Pasifika-owned businesses. However, tools are only as good as their users.

Increasing the supplier diversity capability in the organisation is critical to taking action. This involves educating staff on the benefits of supplier diversity, encouraging them to do things differently and demonstrating how it is done.
