potential conflicts of interests senior leaders MBIE

Sadie Ford made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

The request was partially successful.

From: Sadie Ford

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

I am a PhD student and doing research on the economic impact of the limited talent pool in NZ. A part of my research covers the hypothesis "New Zealand has more potential conflicts of interests due to a limited talent pool".

I saw this week that the CEO of the Callaghan Institute has become a paid, non executive director at WestPac and decided to research that specific case and the Callaghan Institute a bit further.

Can you therefore please provide the following information:

1) The formal policies for the senior leadership teams at Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment, Callaghan Institute and NZ Trade & Enterprise for holding non executive directorships positions (both paid and not paid)
2) A list of the declared possible conflict on interests for the entire senior leadership teams at Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment, Callaghan Institute, NZ Trade & Enterprise.
3) The salary bands for the individuals with declared conflict on interest and the associated directorship fees these individuals receive.

Yours faithfully,
Sadie Ford
