Aotearoa is rich in precious metals, minerals, and plentiful underground reservoirs. We are fortunate to have an extractives sector in Aotearoa that can harness these resources, many of which contribute to and enhance the quality of our daily lives. The sector contributes positively to the country socially and economically, providing employment, domestic and export earnings, and the minerals that are key components in electronics, cars, refrigerators and more. The contribution of the extractives industry may not always be obvious to everyday consumers, but it is critical, nonetheless.
We have commissioned a study to understand the barriers, enablers, accessibility, and employment experiences of disabled people in our industries.
