Our values reflect our commitment to purpose, delivery, people and partnering, and they shape what everyone — inside and outside our organisation — can expect from us.

Crafted to be uniquely ours, our values are clear, concise and focused on action. They speak our language, reflect who we are, and ask us to bring our best every day.

What are our values?

The second shield depicts a power on/off symbol that incorporates silhouettes of people. Below the shield are the words ‘powered by people’. The third shield depicts 4 hands cupped in a circular shape around a stylised map of New Zealand. Below the shield are the words ‘stronger together’. The fourth shield depicts a tick with a circle around it. Below the shield are the words ‘we deliver’.

Purpose-led

The work we do is critical for our livestock industries and New Zealand. Grounded in science, guided by evidence, we think critically, act with intent and strive for excellence.

Powered by people

We hire great people and back them to do exceptional work. We keep our teams safe and well, creating the conditions for everyone to succeed — in the field, on farm or in the office.

Stronger together

We work as one OSPRI — across our teams, industry and partners. We build trust through collaboration and achieve more by working together.

We deliver

We’re focused on delivering impact — we think ahead, adapt quickly and learn as we go. We plan, stay ready for change, and prepare confidently for tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities.
