Environs mission is to advocate, protect, maintain and preserve the kaitiakitanga status and rights of Te Uri o Hau on behalf of the Te Uri o Hau people.
The environmental arm of the Te Uri o Hau Settlement Trust comprises two entities: the Environs Holdings Trust and Environs Holdings Ltd, whose shares are vested in the directors of the Settlement Trust.
The Directors of Environs Holdings Ltd are required to advise Trustees on conservation and cultural matters, as well as monitor cultural assets.
