20230403 Te Papa Taxpayers Union Toitū LGOIMA Request

NZ Taxpayers Union made this Official Information request to Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Board

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for NZ Taxpayers Union to read recent responses and update the status.

From: NZ Taxpayers Union

To the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa,

This is a request for official information under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 relating to the environmental certification your museum has received.

We request information that answers the following questions:
- How many years has your museum been affiliated with Toitū?
- How much does it cost your museum to maintain certification, including fees from Toitū and costs related to meeting these requirements?
- If different, what were the initial up-front costs to achieve compliance with certification standards and achieve certification in the first place?
- Does the museum plan to achieve Carbon Positive certification, and if so, why, and under what timeframe?
- If not, why?
- Has the museum considered other certification/auditors, or in-house auditing of their climate emissions as an alternative to Toitū?

We do not wish to cause unnecessary expense or burden on your museum. If clarification of any of our requests is needed, please call or email. Likewise, if a request proves unnecessarily burdensome in form and we are likely to be able to adjust it to be more specific or better suited to your information systems without losing the benefit of what is sought, please also get in touch. If there is likely to be a delay in being able to assemble or provide some of the information requested, please provided the rest of the information as it becomes available.

To avoid unnecessarily printing and postage costs, we ask that you send a confirmation of receipt, the response and any other correspondence to [email address]. Please include the following reference in the subject line – 20230403 Te Papa Taxpayers Union Toitū Request
