Overview
Wellington has some absolutely ace businesses in our midst who are using the expertise of refugees to create incredible local product. Take Nisa, for example. Or Pomegranate Kitchen.
There's a powerful business case for employing hard-working, talented and loyal former refugees that's more than just corporate social responsibility.
