good for business
Businesses are looking to improve their overall performance, strengthening community relationships by embracing te ao Māori – the Māori world – especially around sustainability and production, say ASB specialists Anthony Ririnui and Krissi Holtz.
Ririnui, ASB General Manager of Māori Business (Kaihautu Te Waka Whaihua), says businesses are increasingly adopting the Māori world view of kaitiakitanga - taking care of the land.
"The real convergence is among larger organisations which have the resources, but smaller businesses are also looking at ways of adopting Māori practices. It's around a social licence of becoming more inclusive and connected with the community and we are seeing it play out right across the business sector," he says.
