Sustainability Victoria is calling on packaging organisations, community and individuals to showcase their sustainability success stories by entering this year’s Premier’s Sustainability Awards.
The Premier’s Sustainability Awards, now in its 21st year, will once again celebrate sustainability, and highlight some of the remarkable advancements and recent achievements across six categories – all of which aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals framework.
At last year’s awards, packaging made from mushroom mycelium and the revegetation of land in Euroa received the two Premier’s Recognition Awards, demonstrating the diversity and innovation of entries in the long-standing awards program.
Two awards within each of the six categories will be presented – the Community Champion Award for individuals and small organisations; and the Industry Leader Award for medium and large organisations.
In addition, the Premier will select two overall winners to be presented at the award ceremony – the Premier’s Recognition Award, a stand-out submission from the 12 award winners; and the Premier’s Regional Recognition Award, a stand-out regional organisation/project from all qualifying finalists. These two awards cannot be entered.
“Now more than ever is the time to showcase Victoria’s sustainability success stories so we can learn from each other, share this knowledge, and bring about greater change collectively,” said Matt Genever, interim CEO of Sustainability Victoria.
“The Premier’s Sustainability Awards provides the platform to acknowledge the tremendous work going on right across the state, and I look forward to celebrating the achievements of the many organisations, community groups and individuals leading the way to a sustainable future.”
Entries for the Premier’s Sustainability Awards close on Friday 30 June 2023 at 5pm. Click here for more.
