No matter how much we grow or how technology changes, we will always value the relationships we have with our customers and our values guide our actions.
Our organisational DNA
If you were to ask us ‘In a nutshell, what’s Trustpower all about?’, here’s what we’d say to you. Our organisational DNA defines the four things at the absolute core of our organisation:
- Respect for everyone we interact with, customers, staff, shareholders and other stakeholders.
- Passion for personal service, so each customer feels they are treated as an individual.
- Deep involvement with, and active support of, the communities we operate in.
- A restless quest for innovation, taking calculated risks to find better ways of doing things.
Our purpose
Then, if you asked, ‘Why do what you do?’ we’d reply:
- Our purpose is to improve the lives of people in the communities we serve, by providing access to utilities that deliver comfort, convenience, connectivity, and value.
Caring about our people, our environment and our communities and being obsessive about customer service is what drives us. I also love the fact that we’ve built a great business from Tauranga.

Yet we’ll still be the same people – friendly, efficient and famous for our customer service.
Our values
Finally, if you were to ask, ‘What do you stand for?’, we’d say this. Our values capture who we are and what matters most to us. They’re the attitudes we embrace, as individuals, as teams, and as an organisation:
