- Implement a Tiriti-based economic strategy that eliminates the dependence of economic systems on growth and ensures economic activity is resilient and occurs far beneath established ecological limits.
- Support Maori-led work and business-related initiatives, particularly in regions with high levels of unemployment and require all other workplaces to identify and address institutional racism in their recruitment, promotion practices and retention of workers.
- Support and resource development of the Maori economy that recognises the importance of whanau, hapu, iwi, whenua and kaitiakitanga.
- Support Maori business service providers and intra-community lending initiatives to support Maori-led businesses.
- Ensure Aotearoa New Zealand only enters international trade and investment treaties if they preserve rights under Te Tiriti O Waitangi.
