- Partnering with DOC in pest eradication, benefiting biodiversity
- Helping manuhiri reduce their carbon footprint, by offering souvenirs 'good for a lifetime'
- Eliminating single use plastics and reducing waste generation
- Educating manuhiri on all of the above and making their visit to Aotearoa safe and memorable
