Public Sector Integrity Day 2025
We hosted Public Sector Integrity Day on 21 February 2025 in partnership with the Public Service Commissioner and supported by IPANZ.
Why did we do this?
Trust in the public sector is essential for social cohesion and well-being because it underpins a government’s ability to govern.
The integrity of the public sector is not just about individual actions. It’s also about the collective actions of the public sector over the long term.
The change we want to see by 2028 is that public sector leaders will:
- be taking a system approach to integrity issues and developing strong organisational practices, including reporting;
- have an understanding of te ao Māori perspectives on integrity and what this means for public organisations; and
- be holding themselves and others to account for ethical leadership.
Our previous Public Sector Integrity Day activities include:
