Why are American food producers choosing to work with a robotics company based in Tauranga? Partly because of a strong company culture founded in Māori values like manakitanga [hospitality] and kaitiakitanga [guardianship of the environment], says Steve Saunders (Ngāi Te Ahi and Ngāti Ranginui). The co-founder and CEO of Robotics Plus was named 'Outstanding Business Leader' at this week's Māori Business Leaders Awards.
