The Rata Ethical Business Alliance (REBA) programme focuses on high ethics, values and integrity to raise the personnel, organisational, future outlook and standards for organisations – which in turn is good for staff, suppliers and clients.

Rata’s Vision for REBA is:

• This alliance will bring together an exclusive group of like-minded businesses who will be evaluated in-depth on comprehensive criteria and subsequently, become certified.

• Organisations who are REBA Certified will be recognised within the New Zealand market place as having high ethical character.
