We celebrate small businesses doing good things for people and the planet – often in highly effective ways.
These businesses contribute towards positive impact for the climate, greater justice and a fairer economy fit for the future. These Awards recognise their accomplishments and impact for a better world. More importantly, we facilitate sharing their innovative ideas and best practice. so small businesses across the country can follow their lead.
What do we mean by ‘good’?
Well firstly, we believe in the power of businesses big and small to transform lives and positively change the world. The way business leaders run their businesses creates impact; good and bad.
A good business is one that focuses on the good, understands its impacts and takes conscious and ongoing steps to ensure that not only does it reduce harmful impacts, but that this impact is good – for people, for communities, for the planet. These are organisations that choose to invest profits in creating more positive impacts in the world. This, for us, is the definition of a good business.
The Good Small Business Awards and our best practice community in Good Business Solutions are developing the nation’s small business community with sustainability best practices whilst driving deeper social and environmental impact in an annual engagement and research program with our collaborative larger organisations partners.
