Buyers procure with impact
Partner with verified Māori and Pasifika-owned businesses to strengthen your supply chain, drive innovation, and make a real impact in Aotearoa.
Meet the Buyer
‘Meet the Buyer’ events are a chance for buyers to connect kanohi-ki-te-kanohi (face-to-face) with suppliers.
Work with Amotai to build a more inclusive, resilient supply chain.
As a buyer, you play a crucial role in fostering supplier diversity. Amotai provides the tools, resources, and support to help you connect with Māori and Pasifika suppliers, meet your social procurement goals, and strengthen your supply chain with innovative, high-quality suppliers.
Business benefits of supplier diversity
Diverse suppliers can adapt quickly, broaden your pool of talent and reduce dependencies.
Māori and Pasifika economies and populations are growing faster than the rest of Aotearoa. Amotai businesses are the suppliers of the future and driving new markets, segments and consumer preferences.
Grow wealth in Māori and Pasifika communities. For every dollar of revenue, Australian indigenous businesses create $3.66 of social and economic value for indigenous communities.
Māori and Pasifika businesses bring fresh ideas, unique expertise and new solutions which drive innovation within supply chains.
Auckland Council found that procuring from Māori and Pasifika-owned businesses provided a 2:1 ‘ROI’ in economic activity and jobs mainly benefiting people in Auckland’s most deprived neighborhoods (compared with spending with non-Māori and Pasifika-owned businesses).
Alignment with sustainable business practices is a competitive advantage for talent and customer acquisition.
