Judging for this category is based on five core principles of sustainability in business:
- Maintaining and, if possible, enhancing your people’s quality of life
- Enhancing economic vitality – essential to sustainability
- Promoting social equality and mutual partnership
- Maintaining and, if possible, enhancing the quality of the environment
- Using a consensus-building, participatory process for decisions
Camilla said that when judging the entrants for the Sustainability Award, “we take into account these five factors as well as the business’ overall commitment to sustainability in the New Zealand market, which brings its own unique challenges and quirks – and this year Absolute Essential fit the bill”.
