Care for the land, care for the people, go forward.
In 1995, we broke away from the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand and became Contact Energy. This was the moment that set us on our path to where we are today and established our vision for a better New Zealand. As we’ve grown, we happened upon an extremely powerful truth: That the energy that makes the water hot, the milk cold, keeps the warmth in and the darkness out, important as it is, is nowhere near as vital as the human energy we carry within ourselves.
We use our human energy where it matters, through acts of kindness. This is what makes us different. In a category that operates on how much value can be extracted from Kiwis, we chose a different path – a path that challenges us to create value for Kiwis, with kindness at our core, to give all Kiwis a hands-up to get ahead.
As a company we are an integral part of daily life in New Zealand and we’re acutely aware that our every action, good and bad, has a marked impact on the wellbeing of our communities - today and in the future. We’re empowered to innovate and transform, focused on our communities and the world we’re going to leave for them, and that spirit lives and breathes throughout Contact. Here, you’ll find a place where your ideas can flourish, and your career can thrive in an environment that values collaboration, creativity, and growth.
Join us and help shape the future of energy in New Zealand. It won’t just be great for your career, it’s great for Aotearoa.
In this film, Harnessing the potential of geothermal energy which is part of the Humanising Energy Series, our team share stories about their mahi at our geothermal power stations in Taupō, including how they help keep the lights on for New Zealand, the importance of tangata whenua relations, and innovations to be kinder to the planet.
This video was produced for us by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions.
