The Circle Awards 2022 AUS & NZ in Sydney unveiled this year’s winners across 14 categories in an event held on 17 October.
Among the winners are Forkful, which was recognised for helping hospitality venues sell their surplus food and reduce food wastage; Dust & Glow, which provides waterless beauty solutions; and Releaseit, a rental marketplace reducing landfill. The Judges’ Choice accolade was awarded to Sustainable Salons, a comprehensive resource recovery program designed for salons.
Swedish electric car manufacturer Polestar helped present this year’s awards in support of the award’s recognition of local businesses, organisations, projects and people that are making a positive environmental and social impact.
“Polestar was inspired by the efforts of The Circle Awards program to foster and invest in both businesses and individuals looking to effect meaningful change in the business landscape of Australia and New Zealand,” Samantha Johnson, Head of Polestar Australia, said. “As a judge, I would like to personally congratulate all the category nominees and award winners. Your ingenuity and passion for environmental innovation is to be applauded, and we wish you all the best on your sustainable journeys.”
Founder of The Circle Awards, Nick Hoskin, expressed his belief that the quality of entrants signals a shift in the mindset of Australian and New Zealand businesses.
“While this is only the second year of The Circle Awards, we’ve already managed to uncover and support the work of some incredible businesses both in Australia and New Zealand making a positive impact,” Hoskin said. “Having Polestar on board as a presenting partner at such an early stage in the Awards signals to us that what we, and more importantly, what our entrants are doing, truly matters and that together we can journey towards creating a brighter future.”
Winners of the Circle Awards AUS & NZ in 2022 will have access to exclusive mentorship from industry leaders and executive team training workshops.
