Māori & Pasifika at Foodstuffs North Island

Ruia Te Kākano

Run twice a year across our Supply Chain, our Māori and Pasifika leadership programme is focused on using indigenous values to explore what leadership means for the individual. This is in the context of exploring wellbeing for themselves, their whānau, hapū, iwi and the wider Foodies team.

Tupu Toa Partnership

As a principal partner of Tupu Toa who seeks to grow Māori and Pacific leaders, we have spent the last 3 years welcoming amazing and gifted Māori & Pasifika students into our Foodies whānau through our Summer Internship.

"My experience as a TupuToa intern at Foodies was incredible. Everyone was welcoming and I was supported by awesome mentors who gave me ample opportunity to engage and contribute where possible. The company environment gave me the freedom to connect with other teams which helped me see that Foodies is made up of different components working together as one big team with the sole interest of providing customer-driven value to all New Zealanders from all walks of life. Foodies partnership with TupuToa means more diverse thinking and decision making and it’s exciting knowing that more young Pasifika talent will be passing through their doors in the future." - Amaryah Halo, Customer Products Intern, IT
