Ruru's Journey Towards a Sustainable Aotearoa: The Introduction of Electric Vehicles
In an inspiring leap forward for sustainable engineering practices, Ruru, is proud to announce the procurement of our first tesla model Y EVs. This milestone is not just a step towards minimizing our carbon footprint but also a testament to our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and a better future for rangatahi.
Ruru was founded with a vision deeply rooted in Māori values, aiming to harmonize traditional wisdom with modern engineering practices to nurture the land and its people. Our mission has always been to deliver infrastructure and outcomes that forge a lasting connection between tangata and whenua, embodying the principles of kaitiakitanga, rangatiratanga, and kotahitanga.
The introduction of EVs into our operations aligns seamlessly with our core values and our dedication to sustainability. These vehicles are a significant step towards reducing our environmental impact and promoting cleaner, greener transportation solutions. By transitioning to 100% electric transport, we are not only contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions but also leading by example, inspiring others in the industry and our community to follow suit.
Our choice to invest in EVs reflects our broader commitment to environmental and corporate governance, where every decision is made with the future in mind. We are constantly seeking ways to innovate and improve, ensuring that our projects not only meet today's needs but also safeguard the interests of future generations. This is evident in our approach to projects, where we prioritize environmentally and culturally responsive engineering design outcomes that enhance the mauri of te taiao.
Moreover, this initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to provide Māori rangatahi with pathways into the industry, demonstrating that it is possible to pursue a career that aligns with their values and contributes positively to the well-being of their communities. Through scholarships, mentoring, and support, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of Māori engineers, surveyors, and planners.
As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on our kaupapa – to strengthen our land and the people that use it. The procurement of our first two electric vehicles is just the beginning of our journey towards a sustainable Aotearoa. We are excited about the possibilities ahead and are committed to continuing our work with passion, innovation, and respect for our cultural heritage.
Ruru is more than just a consultancy; we are a movement towards a better, greener, and more inclusive future. Together, let's drive the change we wish to see in the world.
