Energy today, for tomorrow.

We are custodians of critical infrastructure, working every day to safely and reliably deliver energy that Kiwis need to power our lives and businesses. We’re proud of the important role we play, because while energy is what we do, it’s people we do it for.

The businesses within Clarus touch many parts of the supply chain – from transmission and distribution to retail supply and storage.

As energy experts dedicated to taking care of today’s needs with consistent supply, we’re also using our collective knowledge and experience to help shape a more diverse and resilient energy future. We’re committed to exploring the possibilities – actively researching, innovating, and investing in practical energy solutions to deliver reliable energy for a brighter New Zealand.

Our purpose

Deliver good energy for a brighter Aotearoa
Kia tika te pūngao a Aotearoa

At Clarus, we don't just deliver energy - we deliver good energy by:

  • Delivering natural gas and LPG across New Zealand through our robust network of pipelines and LPG delivery systems.
  • Ensuring reliable and safe energy that powers homes and businesses.
  • Investing in future energy solutions to meet tomorrow's needs.
  • Bringing positive energy to our workplace, community and stakeholder interactions.

Our commitment to good energy goes beyond the physical product, encompassing our people, how we operate, innovate, and engage with our community.

Our name Clarus represents clarity, brightness, and strength. Everything we do is for a Brighter Aotearoa. Making a difference for Aotearoa and acknowledging Te Ao Māori and the communities we serve.  

The translation of our Purpose in our Te Reo Māori means:

Kia Tika - Kia doing or getting something, Tika - correct or right. Te pūngao - Pūngao captures energy overall. As well as energy required for growth, change, prosperity. Can also capture people, community, places and things needed to deliver energy. And a Aotearoa - acknowledgement of Te Ao Māori and the communities we serve.

Our mission

Deliver safe, reliable and cleaner energy today and in the future, doing right by our environment, people and communities.
Mō te taiao, ngā kaimahi, ngā hapori hoki

We work to ensure we do right by our environment, our people, and our communities. We believe in ethical practices and integrity in everything we do. By aligning ourselves with our Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and adhering to Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies, we work hard to stay connected with our communities and stakeholders. We aim for positive outcomes that reflect our values and commitment to our team and the world around us.

We are taking action to deliver safe, reliable and cleaner energy now and for the future with examples including:

  • Successfully delivering New Zealand's first renewable gas project in Reporoa, with biomethane now injected into a section of our transmission network.
  • Successfully completing New Zealand's first renewable hydrogen blending pilot on a section of our gas distribution network.
  • Setting emission reduction targets for our business processes and working to deliver against those targets.

The sentence structure in our Te Reo Māori Mission Statement follows traditional convention where the enduring whenua (land) comes before the more transitional tangata (people).
