Our harakeke story
Our harakeke story tells us how our values and behaviours grow from one another and are interconnected. The image uses a colour scheme inspired by our well-known green and gold DOC branding. This helps our values and behaviours look and feel like DOC.
Our integrity grounds us, our connections take us further together, we empower ourselves and others to do the best work, so we achieve more for nature and New Zealand.
By us, for us… and you
Our values and behaviours matter to us and reflect who we are at DOC.
Our people helped shape them, so they’re genuine and grounded. They are true to who and where we are today, and guide where we’re heading next.
Our team is proud to live these values. We hope you’ll feel a connection to them too, as you Find Your Way on your journey with us.
