E tino harikoa ana au ki te tāpae i te Pūrongo Ā-Tau 2019/2020 a Hīkina Whakatutuki. It gives me great pleasure to present the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) 2019/20 Annual Report.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s 2018/19 Annual Report is a review of our financial and non-financial performance against our outcomes, priorities and obligations.
Our organisational strategy, Te Ara Amiorangi, informs the way we work. Te Ara refers to a pathway and Amiorangi to successfully navigating for the future to Grow Aotearoa New Zealand for All.
We are the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), Hīkina Whakatutuki. Hīkina means to uplift and Whakatutuki means to move forward, to make successful.
MBIE’s sustainability framework supports both the Government’s commitment to having a carbon neutral public sector by 2025 and broader cultural, economic, environmental and social outcomes for the country in the transition to a low-emissions economy.
Workplace wellbeing, health and safety continues to be a focus for MBIE. MBIE’s online wellbeing hub, Te Puna Ora, offers practical information on managing wellbeing, along with access to support services to those within the organisation.
At 30 June 2023, we employed 6,515 people. Our strength is in the diversity of our people whose work supports communities and businesses across Aotearoa New Zealand. We aspire to better reflect the communities we serve and manaaki (uplift and care for) one another to deliver for New Zealanders.
MBIE has a diverse range of policy and service delivery responsibilities, with a significant influence on the economic success of Aotearoa New Zealand and the broader economic, social and environmental wellbeing of its people. We lead 13 portfolios across 3 Votes (seen below), we manage 18 regulatory systems and are responsible for over 115 acts.
Aotearoa New Zealand needs a business environment that is dynamic, where businesses can respond to new opportunities and resources are allocated to their most productive use.
Supporting a responsive labour market where people are protected and can make the best use of their skills.
