A strong focus of our procurement decisions will be one of benefiting our communities and providing the most cost-effective solution when accounting for social, environmental, economic and cultural outcomes for the Taranaki region.
This Charter promotes regional development and recognises that community wellbeing, resilience and sustainability is enabled through private as well as public expenditure.

• Utilisation and expansion of local resources and capabilities.
We strive to make balanced procurement decisions by:
• Actively seeking opportunities to include local suppliers and Taranaki enterprises in the procurement process
