About us SUSTAINABILITY

Our 5 Principles

The Way We Do Business

Here at Connetics, we believe that sustainability goes hand-in-hand with our mission to deliver energy solutions that power a cleaner and brighter future for Aotearoa

We're proud to be part of a purpose-led group where sustainability is crucial part of the way we do business, that ensures long-term resilience and positive impacts.

To help us keep sustainability front of mind, we’ve developed five enduring and versatile sustainability principles - these are our '5Ps'. These 5Ps are a simple check to make sure we’re heading in the right direction for our environmental and social responsibilities, as a business and as an electrical solutions provider.

Our 5Ps are:

Protect
Act as kaitiaki (guardians) of the environment by reducing the impacts of our operations, and, where possible, take opportunities to enhance the natural environment.
Partner
Engage meaningfully with communities and our people, ensuring that all business practices address their diverse needs and expectations.
Prosperity
Use resources thoughtfully, invest sustainably, and enable a resilient energy future through responsible long term economic decisions.
Pledge
We are committed to upholding the mana of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the principles of reciprocity, active protection, partnership, equity, and equal treatment.
Purposeful
Ensure high ethical standards in our supply chain and workforce by sourcing responsibly, respecting human rights, and providing fair, safe and respectful working conditions throughout our business
