Growing a sustainable future
At T&G, kaitiakitanga captures what sustainability means to us. It’s based on the Māori world-view of guardianship and protection. This is central to who we are and what we do – treating the land, people, produce, resources and community with the greatest of respect and care, as guardians of their future.
APPROACH
Our approach to Kaitiakitanga
As kaitiaki (guardians), we’re united in wanting to make a genuine, lasting and positive impact on the world.
To grow a healthier and more sustainable future, our Kaitiakitanga sustainability framework has three key pillars, each with clearly defined focus areas and goals.
