Morrison was an active supporter of the arts in New Zealand. He founded the HRL Morrison Music Trust in 1995 as a vehicle to support and promote New Zealand’s finest musicians and composers, with a special emphasis on the production and marketing of recordings through its record label, Trust Records. He was a trustee of the Chamber Music NZ Foundation and a director of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

Morrison was active in several high profile public campaigns. He launched a campaign to change the Flag of New Zealand in 2003, and in 2008 published a discussion document titled "A Measurable Goal for New Zealand" with the intent of identifying a common goal that all of New Zealand can support and aspire to. Morrison was a trustee of Pure Advantage, the organisation championing a move to a green growth economy for New Zealand to secure its share of the $6 trillion global opportunity that green growth promises by 2050. In September 2011 it was announced that Morrison was one of the consortium of local businessmen who had bought the Wellington Phoenix FC the only professional football team in New Zealand.
