Community

We are proudly part of the Northland community and we are committed to being a good neighbour and to supporting our local region.

Marsden Point is not just home to our site, but it is home to most of our people as well, and we are committed to being a good neighbour, and to supporting our region.  

We are committed to being a fair and caring employer, a responsible corporate citizen and neighbour. We work with our local Iwi, provide a voice for Northland on national issues, support local environmental and education projects and contribute to the local economy.

 

Engaging our community

We maintain regular engagement with our community, taking the opportunity when we can to meet with, and answer the questions of our neighbours, and the wider Northland community.  Along with regular meetings with neighbouring businesses, and ratepayers and residents associations adjacent to our site, in 2024, we hosted the first ever joint Business After Five (BA5) event with local chamber of commerce, NorthChamber.  The event was a huge success – as the largest ever BA5 NorthChamber have ever held.

Community sponsorship

Channel, as a large local business and strong part of this community, has funded a number of projects or initiatives in Northland that support or benefit our local community.

We have criteria to ensure that decisions taken to invest beyond our gates are consistent with our ESG framework, connected to our organisation, impactful, and we are supporting legitimate and well-governed operations.

If you think your project might fit this criteria, or you would like to know more, please get in touch with us by emailing
