The Sustainable 60 Programme
DO YOU HAVE A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS?
The Sustainable 60 was launched in 2009. This unique programme has been designed to assist New Zealand companies and organisations develop a sustainability strategy that is aligned with their business.
Fairfax Media Business Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers believe that robust, resilient and future-focused companies are essential for New Zealand's economy and that sustainability is integral to this future.
The Sustainable 60 programme is focused on showcasing the progress of companies on their journey to sustainability, rewarding those that have made significant achievements, sharing their stories and celebrating excellence.
The Sustainable 60 Awards are an integral part of the programme and last year attracted 110 individual entries. Being a finalist and winning is much more than an Award night as finalists and winners are showcased on the Sustainable 60 website, within Fairfax newsletters and a dedicated magazine.
There are several components of the Sustainable 60 programme:
Sustainable 60 Awards - the Sustainable 60 Awards are one element of a integrated programme designed to reward excellence and share best practice through showcasing success and inspiring other organisations to future proof their business. The entry process consists of a selection of questions and provides an opportunity for organisations (companies and public sector) to put forward a compelling story of sustainable business practice. Past entrants can re-enter and benchmark themselves against last year's performance and other organisations or companies with similar profiles.
Entries are now open - close 3 September 2010 - click here for entry process

Awards function - finalists and category/overall winners will be announced at the award evening to be held at the Langham, Auckland, on 1 December, 2010 .
Magazine - a dedicated supplement is developed by Unlimited, a publication of Fairfax Media Business Group. Articles focus on each of the categories - strategy & governance, workplace, environment, marketplace and community. Within each of these categories the stories of the finalists and winners are told. This supplement is distributed with Unlimited and other Fairfax publications. In addition finalists and category/exemplar winners, sponsors and relevant associations receive copies of this content rich supplement for distribution.
Workshops - within the programme education is key, both in terms of defining sustainability for New Zealand businesses and showcasing best practice. Workshops provide an ideal opportunity to do this and we are currently running a workshop series that involves Category and Overall winners as well as sustainability experts.
