We are proud to announce the finalists in the annual , which recognise and celebrate Victorians who are leading the way in sustainable innovation and practices.
The 33 finalists span 11 categories, including a new category celebrating the outstanding contribution of volunteers.
Now in their 17th year, the awards continue to go from strength to strength. We had a record number of entries to the awards in 2019, with a high calibre of entries across the board.
As environmental sustainability becomes increasingly important for communities, businesses, industries and government, the awards play a significant role in sharing success stories that we can learn from and be inspired by.
This year’s finalists showcase an array of inspiring and diverse initiatives including:
- a settlement agency that has regenerated an historic garden in collaboration with local refugees
- a company revolutionising fuel management for petrol stations and suppliers
- a volunteer program connecting people with parks
- a hospital reducing healthcare waste by re-homing second-hand equipment such as crutches and shower chairs
- a hotel soap recycling initiative saving disadvantaged children’s lives through improved hand hygiene
- a family farm producing sustainable wool
- a water treatment plant with a workforce of worms.
Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on Thursday 10 October at the Forum Melbourne.
