Meridian Annual Report - Meridian Energy

5<
Our leadership capacity
continues to grow and is
being stretched by the targets
we are setting ourselves.
As our customers, communities, cities and indeed other countries
where we do business, turn urgently to defining their roadmaps to
achieve a more sustainable, low carbon future, Meridian Energy’s
small portfolio of clean technology subsidiaries is strongly supporting
our overall credentials to be a utility partner of choice.
Our direct knowledge and track record in renewable generation
development and operation, carbon markets, industrial greenhouse
gas emission reduction, carbon neutral electricity retailing, smart
metering and home energy efficiency is creating a unique and
sought after customer value proposition.
The Board and Management Team remain confident that we have
a sound strategy whose time has come.
We have again been reminded of the quality and loyalty of our
staff and the reasons they choose to work for the company. Our
leadership capacity continues to grow and is being stretched by
the targets we are setting ourselves.
A key focus for the Board and Management Team in the period ahead
will be ensuring that all is done to continue to develop our people as
highly respected leaders in their field and in their communities.
All of this in turn will help us become trusted and valued partners
as the industry works together to meet New Zealanders’ aspirations
for future generations.
Of course, it cannot pass without mention that we have seen
significant change at the company level with the departure of our
founding Chief Executive, Dr Keith Turner.
Meridian Energy and New Zealand owes a huge debt of gratitude
to Keith for the vision, the unbounded energy and the passion he
brought to his task.
