DairyNZ is committed to engaging and partnering with Māori

We recognise the importance of tangata whenua, the significant contribution of Māori to our levy payer base and the dairy sector workforce, and our shared aspirations of sustainability and longevity for the industry.

Guided by our Māori Engagement and Partnership Strategy, we continue to develop and strengthen our relationships with Māori through a values-based lens and tikanga-driven approach.

We are continuing some of the great mahi already underway in our community, including sponsorship of the Ahuwhenua Trophy, offering tailored services to our Māori farmers and levy payers, working with iwi to enhance the well-being of catchments, and supporting capability building through our Māori internship programme.

Through kotahitanga (unity) and working collectively, we can achieve better outcomes for our whenua (land), for the taiao (environment) and ngā uri whakaheke (next generations).
