Do you have a sustainable champion or project in your organisation?

If you do, or know someone who does, then you’ll be interested to learn that nominations are open for three national awards in this year’s NZI National Sustainable Business Network (SBN) Awards: Social Innovation Award, Sustainability Champion Award and Sustainable Design and Innovation Award.

The NZ National SBN Awards, now in their ninth year, are New Zealand’s pre-eminent sustainability awards, SBN chief executive Rachel Brown says, adding that anyone can nominate individuals or organisations in these three open categories.

“We really encourage people to put their thinking caps on and put forward names of people and organisations that deserve recognition for their efforts in sustainability,” she says.

“The awards recognise leaders in social innovation and individuals who are chamipioning sustainability and new sustainable market solutions. They support savvy organisations that are reshaping their business models for a more sustainable New Zealand. It’s easy to nominate someone via our website and entry is free!”

The awards will be presented at a ceremony at The Cloud, Queen’s Wharf, Auckland on 22 November 2012.

Entries close on Friday 26 October 2012.
