In keeping with our overall philosophy of being a responsive and responsible corporate citizen, we support the communities in which we operate. Our current programme of sponsorship and support includes:

 

We are proud to be the naming rights sponsor of Auckland’s world-class entertainment venue, the Vector Arena, a key piece of infrastructure – not only for the Auckland region - but for New Zealand.

 

The Vector Arena seats up to 12,200 people and attracts major events ranging from internationally-renowned family shows, opera and rock concerts, sporting and business events and exhibitions.

Vector Wellington Orchestra is the orchestra of the central region of New Zealand. It is a part-time professional orchestra and is an essential part of the region's musical infrastructure, performing to over 100,000 people last year.

 

Our primary school educational resource is designed to teach the fundamentals of electricity and how to stay safe around electricity. The programme incorporates three NZ Curriculum linked resources which are available free of charge to schools on Vector's electricity networks.

 

Our dedicated Children's Safety Programme coordinator has visited over 170 Auckland Schools since the programme began in 2005 and passed on our electricity safety messages to nearly 60,000 students.

Vector proudly sponsors Kiwi Can, a Foundation for Youth Development (FYD) life skills and values programme for 5-12 year olds. 

 

We are committed to keeping the youngest members of our communities safe. Through our sponsorship with Kiwi Can we are helping equip young New Zealanders with a 'can do' attitude to life’s challenges, valuable life skills, and the ability to take responsibility and be accountable for their actions.

New Zealand Shareholders Association (NZSA)
The NZSA represents over 1000 members and shareholders in New Zealand and aims to fulfil three key functions – educating investors, protecting investors’ interests by monitoring the activity of listed businesses and rewarding investors through the improved governance of the boards of companies listed on the exchange.

 

We recognise the independence of the organisation and the significance of its role in enabling investors to participate in the New Zealand stock market.  

Strengthening the size of the capital markets is increasingly important for the future of the New Zealand economy, and we believe the NZSA contributes enormously to the equity market landscape, particularly by protecting the interests of New Zealand investors.
