Rautāpatu
Is a mana whenua organisation that specialises in hapū development, revitalising Te Taiao, and engaging our communities.
We are not afraid to tackle the hard questions and learn from our experiences, recognising that real change occurs when we move past the comfort of the known.
Sustainability starts with community resilience
Tuputupu nunui te rautāpatu,
Memeha noa ana te raupatu!
Rautāpatu Purpose
To inspire and empower whanau and hapū in Aotearoa towards holistic health and wealth.
We aim to mobilise an indigenous, Taiao-positive circular economy that fosters connections, enhances local economic mobility, and revitalises Te Taiao.
Rautāpatu Mission
We champion indigenous knowledge and co-create solutions at the intersection of climate change, culture, and community.
Focused on the four E4 Crises—Ecological, Energy, Economic, and Equity—we prioritise our role as Mana Whenua and apply a Te Ao Māori perspective. These interconnected crises pose complex challenges for our tribal communities across Aotearoa.
Our emphasis is on building community resilience to regenerate and revitalise all living elements within Te Taiao
To Achieve Our Vision
To achieve our vision, we will consolidate our efforts across our entities to direct investment into local people and outcomes. We are:
-
Rautāpatu Foundation – our not-for-profit organisation
-
Rautāpatu Limited – our commercial arm
Over the next decade, we aim to activate opportunities with the guidance and support of our Roopuu Tautoko (Advisory Board) to foster a just and equitable world that supports a circular economy.
We are proud members of the
Ellen MacArthur Foundation community.
