We’re proud to be a long-term partner to the government, councils, and communities delivering critical services across transport, water, telecommunications, defence, housing, and more. We take a whole-of-life approach, from design and build through to operations and asset management. Whether it’s delivering large-scale rail or road programs, building universities or hospitals, ensuring the safe operation of defence bases, or maintaining essential community housing, we focus on outcomes that matter.

We support local capability through inclusive employment pathways like Road Ready and Water Ready, and we work alongside community partners to deliver real social outcomes. Through Downer Donate, we support grassroots causes with up to $200,000 each year. We champion a diverse and inclusive workforce through employee-led networks such as Fetu Pasifika, Wāhine Kotahitanga, and StandOut creating spaces for connection, advocacy, and professional and personal development. National leadership programmes such as Te Ara Whanake and Wāhine Toa strengthen Māori representation and help grow the next generation of Māori and Pasifika leaders across our organisation.

We’re deeply embedded in the communities we serve, working with a network of local suppliers to deliver economic value. In 2024, we partnered with 78 Amotai-registered businesses, directing $62.1 million in spend, more than double our 2022 contribution, reflecting our commitment to inclusive and purposeful procurement. From Northland to Southland, we are part of the fabric of New Zealand. And as we look ahead, our focus remains on long-term value: resilient infrastructure, regional prosperity, and the partnerships that help Aotearoa New Zealand thrive for generations to come.
