Corporate Social Responsibility at Transpower

A big focus is on maintaining our 'social license to operate'. This means we actively engage with landowners and iwi early with an aim to have genuine collaboration and to try and right past wrongs. I've been in many meetings/conversations/workshops where we've had to acknowledge that the company has treated people poorly in the past (e.g. building transmission lines on people's land with little/no consultation) , and that it can take a long time to rebuild that trust.
