The PledgeWe are committed to playing our part in the efforts to prevent pests and diseases from getting into New Zealand or helping to stop their spread if they do get here. 

Our pledge is to be an active part of New Zealand’s biosecurity team of all New Zealanders by integrating proactive biosecurity practices into our operations and supply chains.

Why take the Pledge • Taking a proactive approach to biosecurity

management will help protect New Zealand’s unique natural environment, the New Zealand way of life and our economy for future generations.

• It will enable more proactive biosecurity risk management to avoid unnecessary costs and disruptions for New Zealand businesses.

• A proactive approach to biosecurity is good business risk management. It is also part of caring for the communities we live and work in.

We will… • actively seek to understand and manage the biosecurity considerations

associated with our business activities.

• incorporate biosecurity into the procurement policies that guide our selection of goods, travel, logistic, and service providers.

• take opportunities to support our customers, staff, suppliers and stakeholders to understand the importance of biosecurity and what good biosecurity practice looks like.

• approach biosecurity with a view that it is everyone’s responsibility, risk is best managed offshore, and that we will actively engage with MPI to

support better biosecurity outcomes for New Zealand.
