The stars of our local business community are set to be celebrated at the inaugural Kingston Sustainable Business Awards gala event on Wednesday 25 October.
Positioned to increase awareness of best practices and demonstrate how sustainable business benefits our community and our environment, the awards have attracted a large number of nominations across industries, and from businesses both large and small.
Mayor Hadi Saab encourages businesses and the wider community to attend and acknowledge the outstanding achievements of the winners and 24 businesses and individuals who were selected as finalists.
“We have a remarkably innovative and diverse business community in Kingston and it’s important we recognise and applaud those businesses and individuals making the world a better place,” Cr Saab said.
“This promises to be another great celebration for our community as well as offering a very strong networking opportunity and I’m excited to see everyone come together.”
