reductions, but potentially increase them.
YOUR LOCAL We will consult with the sector to see a planned, effective and
smooth reduction of emissions to agreed levels, technology led and
economically sound with definite environmental and economic outcomes.
VOICE We will support advanced low or zero emission fuels as part
of the mix of transport in NZ, in areas where battery or other technology
is not suitable, with natural gas being the optimum feedstock for these
advanced fuels.

We will reach out to build linkages with significant countries and
companies who are leading R&D in advanced fuels to ensure we are
pursuing best practice and support further R&D in New Zealand.
We will work to advance Resource Management Act (RMA) and
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) reform to enable Carbon Capture and

We will collaborate to develop a cross sector Energy Strategy
aimed at increasing renewables, reducing emissions, managing energy
costs, and maintaining energy security.
We will strive to protect the economy, firm investment certainty,
retain skilled people and minimise social disruption.
We will work to diversify the Taranaki economy alongside
supporting the petrochemical industry.

SPONSORS
Te Karaka, Taranaki’s charitable foundation, has partnered
with numerous generous people and organisations since

• $1m+ funds under management and pledged
• Distributed $50k+ in grants to:
° At risk youth through START Taranaki
° Members of the hearing and visually impaired community
° Families and social services
° Educational causes and scholarships
“Taranaki people are very community focused and Te Karaka
offers a way these people can give to causes that are
meaningful to them, forever. I like the local focus, prudent
management and ongoing reinvestment model,”
says Govett-Quilliam Associate Blair McNamara.
Endowment Funds
Not only does Te Karaka provide individuals and families with a way
to support causes close to their hearts through endowment giving,
organisations too can establish endowment funds. People support Te

committee members
• A registered charity with donee tax status

Christmas Giving Sutherland Governance
We’re not giving Christmas cards this year, knowing the money saved Ahu Ahu Beach Villas
is going towards granting more to people and important causes in Vospers Funeral Services

FUNDING PARTNERS
Why not copy this initiative and give the money you save on cards (and
gifts) to Te Karaka’s Taranaki Fund – a general fund for priority needs.
