NZI Sustainable Business Network Awards 2010
“If you are working on sustainability, you’re a leader. There’s no greater challenge for businesses the world over. You’re always challenging yourself and your business to do better. Find out how well you’re doing by entering SBN’s 2010 Awards…and celebrate with others on this fulfilling journey to sustainability” - Rod Oram
Extraordinary Sustainable Businesses make an incredible, positive contribution to New Zealand’s economy, environment, and culture every year.
yMedia was invited by the good people at Sustainable Business Network (SBN) to put an entry in for the new Social Innovation Award; this new award recognises outstanding programmes, innovations or businesses that use entrepreneurship to meet pressing social needs through research, collaboration, creating new ventures, and working with community groups and public agencies.
Up against a whole raft of inspiring serial Social Entrepreneurs, it was a surprise and honour for yMedia to be a finalist in the Social Innovation Award category. Ray Avery was the winner with Medicine Mondial with judges commendation going to Sustainable Coastlines and our friends at Intersect.
Congratulations to all the finalists and winners of Sustainable Business Awards 2010 and thank you to Rachel, Sarah and the rest of the team at SBN for such a successful evening.
