Celebrating Selwyn Businesses' Sustainable Practices
Lincoln Envirotown Trust is again looking forward to assessing and celebrating the environmental and community initiatives that our businesses undertake.
Every two years the Trust, organise the Selwyn Responsible Business Awards. The awards are made at a celebratory evening in early November but prior to that our assessors will be available to make short visits to all enterprises who wish to discuss the efforts they are making and receive recognition for these.
Participation is entirely voluntary; last year nearly 80 businesses of all kinds participated. Assessors are always in awe of how much businesses do to remain as sustainable as possible and engage with their local communities. All business endeavours and achievements are recognised. All receive certificates, digital badges and mention in our publicity. The emphasis of the process is on discussing practices and problems, recognising the efforts made, and seeing where more might be done.
We encourage businesses to contact Maree, Responsible Business Coordinator to arrange a short meeting to talk about your practices and potential achievements and for everyone to have these showcased on awards night.
You can get in touch with Maree at rbacoordinator@gmail.com or phone 022 4384496 .
