The Māori and Public Housing Renewable Energy Fund was set up in 2020 to trial renewable energy solutions that aimed to improve energy affordability, and help create warm, healthy and energy efficient homes.
Workforce data supports evidence-informed decision-making by helping MBIE identify patterns in employee experience, representation, recruitment, progression, and workforce capability.
Understanding our people’s experience helps MBIE identify opportunities to strengthen leadership, workplace culture, and workforce systems. Insights from workforce data, employee feedback, unions, employee-led networks, and Māori capability partners inform initiatives that strengthen employee experience, workforce capability, and organisational effectiveness.
A streamlined Transition Research Fund has been announced for 2027, aligning science funding with national priorities and supporting a focus on outcomes that benefit New Zealand.

This page captures 5-year targets to improve workforce and leadership representation at MBIE. The 5-year period extends from the publication of the plan in late 2022 to 2027.
MBIE’s implemented initiatives have helped make positive progress towards reducing the gender and ethnic pay gaps. To continue to make progress, a continued focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion is essential. MBIE needs to enable better representation across our workforce and in leadership. This will mean the organisation is more representative of the communities it serves.
MBIE is continuing to make strong progress towards closing the pay gaps.
To report on MBIE’s pay gap, data analysis has been completed on criteria including gender and ethnic by pay gap, and representation of the workforce and leadership by levels of seniority.
