Mercury supports the communities it operates in through our Community Funds, with a focus on listening and responding to the community's needs.
Our employees extend across the Motu, so we have an internal Employee Community Fund in which our employees can apply for funding for the groups or community organisations they care about. We also have Community Funds for groups or organisations to apply directly for support, currently available in Kaiwera Downs, Oamaru, Tauranga and Waipipi.
The Mercury Kawerau Community Fund supports groups and projects in the community around our Kawerau Geothermal Power Station.
The Mercury Manawatū Community Fund supports groups and projects in the communities below our wind farms at Ashhurst and Palmerston North.
The Mercury Taupō Community Fund supports groups and projects in the communities around Lake Taupō and the Waikato awa.
