The 2008 NZI National Sustainable Business Network Awards were held on October 9th at the Auckland War Memorial Museum Event Centre. The spectacular event celebrated those businesses that are actively integrating principles of sustainability into their daily business operations.
The NZI Sustainable Business of the Year Award went to Paraoa Bakehouse who also scooped up the top prize in the Trailblazer (Small and Medium Business) category.
Pararoa Bakehouse produces a range of breads including gluten-free and wheat-free varieties that are sold throughout New Zealand.
The judges were particularly impressed by the company's commitment to waste minimisation. While producing 5,000 loaves of bread a week, the business has drastically reduced the amount of weekly rubbish it sends to landfill to less than the size of a netball.
The Sustainable Business Network would like to congratulate all our finalists and winners from across the country, and warm thanks to all our sponsors and those that made the night such a success.
The winners were:
