We are proud to have formed a partnership with New Zealand Ethical Employers (NZEE) to uphold worker protection measures. This partnership is an integral part of our dedication to safeguarding the wellbeing of workers, including people on the RSE scheme who work on our vineyards and the vineyards of our growers.
The primary objective of NZEE is to enhance employment conditions across all workplaces in New Zealand’s Primary Industries, ensuring that competitiveness does not come at the expense of workers. By partnering with NZEE, we aim to improve ethical employment standards, fostering an environment where people can thrive at work.
Duncan McFarlane, CEO of Indevin, says the partnership with NZEE reflects the company's commitment to the growth of New Zealand's wine industry. He states, “It’s vital that people are looked after in all areas of the industry, with safety and wellbeing at the forefront of decision-making. We are proud to be supporting NZEE in their mission to elevate employment standards for workers and assist labour suppliers in achieving the highest global employment standards."
NZEE Chief Executive Tanya Pouwhare says, “We strive to elevate the quality of workplace experiences for all individuals, emphasizing fairness, dignity, and respect. Collaborating with Indevin allows us to advance our mission further, ensuring that workers thrive in their roles and that New Zealand's wine industry sets a shining example of ethical employment standards."
