Communicating for Impact Award

People want to know about the good businesses are doing. They want easily-accessible information to help them make purchasing choices that will have a positive impact on people and nature. Sustainability is more than making sure you have your own house in order. It’s also about effectively communicating what you do, to the right people, through the right channels, to inspire people to make a difference.

This award will be presented to an organisation that is communicating sustainability through effective use of communication channels and audiences to make a tangible impact.

Enter if your organisation has run a successful and innovative communications campaign on a sustainability topic that has resulted in a measurable impact.

We asked Federation what inspired them to sponsor the Sustainable Business Awards:

"As a full-service independent creative agency working with both global and local brands, we’re excited to see business across New Zealand and around the world increasingly embedding sustainability into their organisational strategies and business practices. A sustainable future that considers purpose, people and planet creates better outcomes for all and exciting new growth opportunities.

Communication has a major role in accelerating change and impact. Communication can mobilise internal teams and create a groundswell of support and behaviour change in consumers too.

‘How’, ‘When’ and ‘Where’ organisations choose to share their sustainability stories and messages can genuinely make a difference in how a company achieves its sustainability goals. It’s why we’re proud to sponsor the Communicating with Impact Award. We are proud to have the opportunity to recognise and celebrate businesses that are inspiring and motivating change towards a more sustainable and equitable planet for all.

It’s a privilege to be a sponsorship partner to the Sustainable Business Network through the Sustainable Business Awards, and to have this role in growing sustainability throughout Aotearoa."
