Sustainable Business Awards 2026

The Awards, which have been running for 24 years, celebrate success in sustainability. In the face of unprecedented environmental and social challenges, the Sustainable Business Awards showcase those driving bold action and groundbreaking innovation. Join us to celebrate sustainability success at this year's ceremony on Thursday, 26 November 2026 at Shed 10 on the Auckland waterfront. What your evening looks like: • Arrive and walk the green carpet. Dress to impress, sustainably! • Enjoy welcome drinks and networking. Meet the people shaping Aotearoa New Zealand's sustainable business community and make powerful business connections. • Discover what 115 Next Listers reveal about where business is headed. • Sit down to a locally sourced, organic dinner by Collective, New Zealand's first B Corp certified caterer. Dine alongside the country's sustainability leaders, innovators and change-makers, and make it a special night out for your team. • Enjoy entertainment (to be announced!) and the skilful MC'ing of Te Radar. • Watch the awards proceedings, as we recognise the businesses and people driving transformation and celebrate Aotearoa New Zealand's sustainability success.
