Our values
Our values have been created by our people, for our people.
They represent the ways we need to work and behave, to successfully deliver on our desired strategic outcomes.
- Stewardship: Adopting a servant’s heart for our precious water systems – caring for them daily, improving them continuously, and doing everything we can to support the sacred duty of the guardians, who hold water in trust for future generations.
- Conviction: Holding firm to what matters – even when it’s not easy, popular, or fast. Making decisions with purpose, daring to do things differently, and staying the course toward a water future we may never see – but deeply believe in.
- Integrity: Having the courage to do what’s right, not what’s easy – even when no one’s watching. Always putting the needs of water, and the people it serves, above politics or pressure.
- Collaboration: Working alongside iwi, communities, and experts – listening, respecting knowledge, sharing responsibility, and staying open to what others see. Because no-one can do this alone.
