It was great to spend a day in Auckland attending the Awards Ceremony and to have the opportunity to meet members of the Sustainable Business Network at the Sustainable City Showcase at Shed 10. It was humbling and inspiring to see so many people leading the way and making a positive contribution to New Zealand’s economy, environment and culture. Thank you, Sustainable Business Network, NZI and the SBN funding partners for hosting a fabulous event.
