Born and bred in Ōtepoti-Dunedin, Aotea Electric Southern holds the community close to our hearts. We proudly support over 36 different clubs, charities, schools, and organisations, demonstrating our commitment to making a positive impact wherever we can.
Our sponsorships are thoughtfully chosen to align with our values, ensuring they provide meaningful engagement opportunities for our staff and their whānau. We believe in making a genuine impact, not just fulfilling a requirement.
We encourage our team to get involved in causes they are passionate about, whether it’s baking challenges for child cancer research, running laps of Baldwin Street for I Am Hope, or participating in the annual Movember contest. Our staff are always eager to contribute and make a difference.
Wild Dunedin
We are proud to be an ongoing gold sponsor of Wild Dunedin. This sponsorship resonates deeply with our values of people, community, sustainability, and celebrates the unique wildlife and wild places of our home, Ōtepoti-Dunedin. Wild Dunedin is a festival and project that fosters education and community engagement, highlighting the natural beauty and biodiversity of our region.
“Aotea is one of Wild Dunedin’s first sponsors and is the first big company that has whole-heartedly joined in the festival.
We were really pleased and impressed with how your staff and their families showed up to all kinds of events in their Aotea Wild Dunedin T-shirts.
We see it as a model for what sponsor involvement can be in future.
We are grateful for how you helped us out – setting up and wrangling visitors to the Art Play Day at Chingford Park, getting down and dirty on the “plogging” clean-up day, getting fed and watered at our sustainable dining, and joining the opening event with 7 x 7 Talks. Thank you Aotea Southern!”
Neil Harraway, Co-Chair of the Wild Dunedin Festival

In addition to these, we support a number of smaller charities and organizations such as the Lions Association, Cancer Society, Rotary Club, I Am Hope, and many more.
At Aotea Southern, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us for so many years. Our commitment to community involvement and support is a core part of who we are, and we are dedicated to continuing this tradition for years to come.
