Change makers

  • We don't accept the status quo.
  • We act with urgency. We change and adapt or we lose our relevancy to the future.
  • We are relentless self-starters always asking, "how will this action move Vector forward?"
  • Others will follow our enthusiasm for innovation to meet our Symphony goals.
  • We shape the future.

Consider it. Done.

  • We consider options and don't jump at the first solution.
  • We give a problem appropriate consideration then act.
  • We have the flexibility to adjust on the move. We don't agonise over having the 'perfect strategy' or answer, nor use it as an excuse for not acting. We make a decision and move forward.
  • We have a bias for action with confident evidence-based decisions.

We, not me.

  • We are open and engaging.
  • We know we don't have all the answers, but we have the ability together, to solve and act.
  • We share our time, knowledge and skills widely and often.
  • We get to know people properly to know who to shoulder tap for support and innovation.
  • We can hold a healthy debate and defend our position, but still walk away as collaborators unified on our decisions.
  • When we make decisions, we consider what is in the interest of the wider organisation. Vector first.

Walk in others' shoes.

  • We have the ability to hold a view while simultaneously recognising and appreciating the perspectives of others.
  • This requires a good level of self-awareness, understanding how and why we react to things. It's through this value that I can see the impact I have on others.
  • We take care to understand each other in a working context.

Own it.

  • We own the outcomes of the entire business, not just our crew.
  • We own the actions of our teams.
  • We own our views and aren't afraid to express them.
  • We own team decisions and back them.
  • We say what we're going to do. And do it.

Customer. Customer. Customer.

  • We don't accept the status quo.
  • We act with urgency. We change and adapt or we lose our relevancy to the future.
  • We are relentless self-starters always asking, "how will this action move Vector forward?"
  • Others will follow our enthusiasm for innovation to meet our Symphony goals.
  • We shape the future.

At Vector, our behaviours are the foundation of how we work together and deliver for our customers. They guide every decision and interaction, ensuring we act with integrity, embrace innovation, and keep the customer at the heart of everything we do. These behaviours help us collaborate effectively, respect diverse perspectives, and lead positive change across the energy sector. By living these principles every day, we create a safer, smarter, and more sustainable energy future for Aotearoa New Zealand.
