Tiaki — Care for New Zealand

As proud Tiaki Promise signatories, we embrace our role as kaitiaki — guardians of Aotearoa. We take full responsibility for our carbon footprint and the Tiaki of New Zealand, caring for the land, people, and culture that make this country extraordinary. Every journey we operate honours that commitment.

Carbon Responsibility

We take full responsibility for our carbon footprint. Every journey is tracked and we actively work to reduce and offset our environmental impact across all operations.

Committed to net zero

Eco-Friendly Fleet

Most of our vehicles meet the EU6e emissions standard — the highest available. Using 2018+ vehicles, the majority of the Legacy fleet produces 50–80% lower emissions than our competition.
