Our story

Our people

Z's Executive Team are all passionate about their roles in leading Z as a Kiwi company.

Sustainability

Our sustainability goals

We’re very aware of the emissions resulting from the fuel we sell. While we have a responsibility to continue to meet New Zealanders’ energy needs now, we believe our role is to make alternative energy choices easier for our customers too. We’re also proud to contribute to work aimed at supporting local communities and the natural environment.

Nature restoration

Z is a super proud supporter of Trees That Count, a conservation charity working with New Zealanders to plant millions of native trees across Aotearoa.

Supplier Code of Conduct

Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets clear expectations of all our suppliers regarding ethical, social and environmental business practices.

Supporting electric vehicles

We want to be at the front of the push towards a cleaner, more sustainable Aotearoa New Zealand. And to give Kiwis choices to use more renewable fuels.

Te Terenga

Our commitment to Te Ao Māori

As a business operating in Aotearoa New Zealand, Z is committed to building our capability in Te Ao Māori (understanding of the Māori world).
