Kakariki Award

Kakariki Award

Recognising Leadership in Sustainability

 
As part of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible business practices, CBAFF was proud to launch the Kakariki Award in 2024 - a natural extension of our focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.
 
The Kakariki Award recognises organisations that demonstrate exceptional leadership in sustainability — those who not only embed sustainable practices within their operations and decision-making but also inspire others to do the same.
 
This award celebrates businesses that take a proactive, responsible approach to their environmental and social impact, symbolising our collective journey towards a more sustainable future for our industry and our communities.
 
Through the Kakariki Award, CBAFF aims to highlight the critical importance of integrating sustainability into business strategy and to encourage wider adoption of practices that contribute to long-term environmental, social, and economic wellbeing.
