We acknowledge the sacred connection between the land and its people, honouring the mana whenua of Aotearoa and Indigenous peoples worldwide. We extend our respect and gratitude to our kaumātua—past, present, and those yet to come—acknowledging their whakapapa and enduring guidance.

Recognising the interconnectedness of all living beings and the natural world—land, forests, waters, and air—we uphold the principles of kaitiakitanga and commit to fostering inclusivity, compassion, and equity. We welcome feedback, dialogue, and collaboration as we work toward a shared vision of a better future for all.
