The TAHITO Process
We have derived over 50 qualitative and quantitative
measures from our indigenous value set that are
applied to screen companies. These are not ‘negative screens’.
We apply our measures mostly through a positive screening process.
Māori ethics put people and the environment first
because both are fundamental to living and thriving.
This thinking is implicit in the ancestral Māori
worldview which centres on connection and
the interdependence of all things.
