The Awards, which have been running for 23 years, celebrate success in sustainability.

In the face of unprecedented environmental and social challenges, the Sustainable Business Awards showcase those driving bold action and groundbreaking innovation.

Two progressive categories align with our mission to drive transformative change: Disruptive Innovation and Transformational Leadership.

The finalists comprise the Next list, an annual list of innovators, entrepreneurs, projects and organisations. They will be announced in September. 

The winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony on 20 November at MOTAT Aviation Hall, Auckland.
