Our pillars


In 2023 we undertook an extensive stakeholder engagement project, which identified four key pillars as the framework of our sustainable development programme.

Our four sustainable development pillars contain interrelated material topics, updated to accurately reflect Todd’s significant sustainable development impacts. These will underpin our sustainable development work programme over the next three to five years.

Our contribution to the energy transition

Todd is committed to a key role in New Zealand’s shift to a low-emissions economy. That means developing a business-wide decarbonisation strategy, investing in renewable energy, while continuing to deliver secure and reliable energy.
