Tiriti O Waitangi

Our Commitment

Antarctica New Zealand acknowledges Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its contemporary application with principles of partnership, participation and protection. These are familiar concepts to Antarctica New Zealand – an organisation that operates closely with international Antarctic Programmes and scientists to support world-class research in Antarctica. Antarctica New Zealand continues to embrace the biculturalism of Aotearoa and uphold these principles as they apply to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We embrace the biculturalism of Aotearoa and uphold the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (partnership, participation and protection) within our own five values. These are familiar concepts to the Antarctica New Zealand team and are central to everything we do:

We are proactive and passionate about what we do
E ngākau whiwhita ana, e ngākaunui ana hoki tātou ki ā tātou mahi katoa

We take responsibility for each other and the environment
Nō tātou te haepapa ki te tiaki i a tātou anō me te taiao hoki

We work together to achieve success
Ka mahi tahi tātou kia angitu ai

We pursue excellence in everything we do
Ka whāia e tātou te iti kahurangi i ā tātou mahi katoa
