Our focus is on building Pasifika capability through partnership. We help build capability within the Pasifika community by collaborating with organisations and individuals committed to delivering better outcomes for Pasifika – including public sector, private sector and non-profit organisations.
Noaˈia, Tālofa lava, Kia Orana, Mālō e lelei, Ni Sa Bula Vinaka, Fakaalofa lahi atu, Mālō nī and Warm Pacific Greetings! Pås Peau is Deloitte’s Pasifika Services Group (pronounced ‘pas pe-oh’).
The name is Rotuman and literally translates as ‘to break through waves’. It serves as a metaphor to describe our aim to do things differently and to challenge the status quo in order to deliver better outcomes for the Pasifika community. We will do this by working collaboratively and in partnership with our clients, by seeking out innovative solutions, involving the right experts and ensuring Pasifika values are at the core of everything we do.
Our Pås Peau image tells the story of a new journey together:
The Pasifika population makes up a growing proportion of Aotearoa’s population, with more people identifying as Pasifika born in Aotearoa than ever before. Almost two thirds of the Pasifika population live in Auckland, which is the largest Polynesian city in the world. Pasifika people in Aotearoa encompass 16 distinct ethnicities, languages and cultures. All are unique with their own story but there are some common values that bind them together.
