Guardianship | Kaitiakitanga
We're the caretakers of Air New Zealand for future generations.
At Air New Zealand, governance of sustainability covers environmental and social matters. Information about how climate-related risks and opportunities are governed is outlined in our 2025 Climate Statement.
Our Board of Directors has overarching responsibility for sustainability, including climate-related matters such as Climate Statement, our 2030 Emissions Guidance, Transition Plan, carbon regulatory compliance, and our new Sustainability Framework.
We have an independent Sustainability Advisory Panel that meets formally twice a year to provide advice to the airline in relation to sustainability developments and initiatives.
We help develop Aotearoa New Zealand as a sustainable visitor destination, benefitting visitors, communities, the environment and the economy.
Done well, travel enriches both the country and the traveller. Like most New Zealanders, Air New Zealand wants to support sustainable tourism that grows our economy, enriches communities across New Zealand, and safeguards our natural environment.
Our support for the Tiaki Promise remains a cornerstone of our commitment to a sustainable tourism sector. Tiaki encourages everyone who lives and travels within Aotearoa to act as guardians of the land, respecting its people, culture, and environment.
We actively collaborate and partner with the wider New Zealand tourism sector to promote New Zealand domestically and internationally. Air New Zealand is proud to support the 20 ports we fly to through special event flights such as this one to the Bluff Oyster Festival, and partnering with Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs) to showcase the diverse range of experiences in regions and encourage visits.
