Empowering Indigenous Prosperity Through Sustainable Innovation

Our Mission is reflected in the Vision of KIINGI TAAWHIAO

''Maaku anoo e hanga tooku nei whare, ko ngaa poupou ki roto he Maahoe, he Paatete. Ko te taahuhu he Hiinau. Me whakatipu ki te hua o te Rengarenga, me whakapakari  ki te hua o te Kawariki.''

Nurtured on kawariki.

At Kawa Group Holdings, we specialise in developing innovative, large-scale projects that combine sustainability and economic growth. Our mission is to unlock the potential of indigenous communities by helping them achieve self-determination through ownerhip in sustainable project solutions.

Energy Solutions

Our focus is on transforming waste into valuable resources through clean, sustainable technologies. This includes:

  • Waste-to-Fuel Projects: Converting waste into sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel.

  • Green Energy: Harnessing renewable energy to power industrial-scale projects.

  • Green Ammonia Fuels

Eco Industrial Park

We design and implement eco-industrial parks on indigenous lands. These parks serve as hubs for economic growth, providing jobs, infrastructure, and housing for the community, while protecting the environment. Our projects are aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aim to reduce the pressure on local governments by funding infrastructure such as:

  • Wastewater treatment

  • Stormwater management

  • Renewable energy generation

  • Housing development

Cultural Advisory Services

Kawa Group Holdings Ltd provides expert Māori cultural advisory services to help organisations foster respectful and meaningful relationships with iwi, ensuring culturally aligned engagement and successful project outcomes.

Our team assists companies in navigating partnerships with tangata whenua, guiding them through the resource consent process and liaising with Māori communities to meet cultural and environmental expectations.

Through tailored strategies, workshops, and consultations, we empower teams to connect authentically with Māori, ensuring respectful and effective collaboration across Aotearoa.

Our Approach

At Kawa, our approach is built on collaboration, innovation, and sustainability:

  • Partnerships: We partner with tribal groups, trust entities, and local governments to ensure that our projects are community-driven and meet local needs.

  • Technology: We use the latest advancements in clean fuel, energy, and infrastructure development to create long-term value.

  • Capital-Backed Growth: With a capital-backed approach, we secure funding to deliver world-class infrastructure that brings both immediate and long-term benefits to indigenous communities.
