Ministry for the Environment Public Sector Award

The Ministry is the Government's principal adviser on the New Zealand environment and international matters that affect the environment. We work with others in central and local government, industry and the community to achieve good environmental governance and decision-making at all levels. Sustainable development is the context for all our work.

The role of the Ministry for the Environment is to:

• provide leadership across government and the community on environment
• work in partnership with key sectors and organisations to improve our environment
• fix problems that require central government intervention
  ensure that New Zealand has good environmental governance

The Ministry for the Environment is delighted to be a sponsor of the Public Sector Award which recognises energy efficient and renewable energy initiatives within central/local government and crown-funded organisations.
