By embracing Māori principles of Kaitiakitanga (guardianship) and Manaakitanga (hospitality), we strengthen our commitment to sustainability and respectful partnerships. Thank you, Josiah Simmonds, for beautifully illustrating how we can achieve this. "E tio te tūī, e ketekete te kākā, e korihi to kokako." It takes many voices to create a symphony—there is strength in diversity. #WeAreWSP #WSPWater

WSP NZ under our Rautaki Māori (Māori Strategy) defines our commitment to and importance of working with Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Integral to this is the ability to support our staff in this space. Staff value the ability to connect within a cultural setting and benefit from the knowledge and insights shared from representatives of respective iwi (tribes) and hapū (sub tribes). The photos share a recent experience where we were able to do exactly this within the rohe/area of Waikato Tainui and hence we acknowledge Kingi Tuheitia and Waikato Tainui. Some of our Māori staff visited Te Papa-o-Roto Marae* and were welcomed into this beautiful space by the hau kāinga (local representatives). On these occasions, staff benefit from the connections made with hau kāinga, learn the history and connections of mana whenua (local Māori) to the surrounding area and gained valuable insights into the aspirations, pressures and priorities for hau kāinga. Within this setting our staff can undertake professional development, strategy and work plan development, and team building within a cultural setting recognising tikanga (protocols) and kawa (customs). In addition, we dedicated time to a Taiao (environment) Session, where we get into the environment and participate in cultural practises. We gained great insight into Māori/Polynesian navigation through a celestial frame as well as the relevance and connections within an environmental frame eg migration of species and climatic trends. Staff were able to participate in other cultural practises such as experience sailing a waka (canoe). *Marae are a key feature of Māori society. The marae is a place where Māori language and customs are expressed, and important ceremonies are held. Marae are a 'sacred place' and carry great cultural meaning. #WeAreWSP #InternationalDayofTheWorldsIndigenousPeoples

This Rail Safety Week, we’re sharing an important reminder from KiwiRail and TrackSAFE Foundation: be like Steely Stan and Steely Stu, take a good look to both the left and right before crossing, and remember: “Steely Stare. Steely Stare. All clear!” #steelystare #steelystareallclear #alwayslookfortrains #RailSafetyWeek
This year Steely Stan will be joined by his city slicker mate, Steely Stu, who he watches over as he navigates a busy city level crossing. Be like Steely Stan and Steely Stu, take a good look to both the left and right before crossing and remember ‘Steely Stare. Steely Stare. All clear!” #steelystare #steelystareallclear #alwayslookfortrains

A big thank you to the hau kāinga (local representatives) for recently welcoming our WSP in New Zealand team to Te Papa-o-Rotu Marae - a sacred place where Maori culture and traditions are expressed. Here we were able to team build within a cultural setting recognizing protocols and customs and benefitting from the connections made with mana whenua (local Māori). We had a great time participating in cultural practices such as waka (canoe) sailing and Māori/ Polynesian celestial navigation. #WeAreWSP #LifeAtWSP

Having tackled a global pandemic as a united country, we have a unique opportunity to address this issue on a number of fronts to rebuild a better and stronger Aotearoa" - Helen Clark Our report with Mahi a Rongo | The Helen Clark Foundation; Alone Together, examines impact of loneliness on the people and communities of Aotearoa.
