These awards acknowledge Toitū certified businesses that are leading the way in environmental sustainability. The criteria for the awards is centred around demonstrating impact, and the finalists are required to scientifically prove they are making a positive difference to the world around them. 

The winners for each of the eight award categories will be announced on 16 November 2022.

"I'd also like to acknowledge all our staff who have supported this kaupapa with their choices at work and in ensuring our committees and other functions work well without incurring climate debt."
