Finalists announced for EECA Business Energy Management Award

Judges for the 2015 NZI Sustainable Business Network Awards have announced the finalists for the EECA Business Energy Management Award.

The five finalists are: Energy Solution Providers, Laminex NZ, New Zealand Post, Optifleet and The Smart Hot Water Company.

The EECA Business Energy Management Award is a special award, open only to finalists in the Renewables and Mega Efficiency categories of the NZI Sustainable Business Network Awards. The finalists have to demonstrate significant energy efficiency through excellent energy management. They must have a record of achievement in reducing energy consumption and costs.

CEO of the Sustainable Business Network (SBN) Rachel Brown says the Awards finalists are leading the transformation to a more sustainable New Zealand.

“Our awards are all about recognising the tremendous role they play in this transformation and how important it is for us to share their stories of success,” she says.

“Energy management is a critical part of New Zealand’s renewables and positive action on climate change. This group of finalists is sending a very strong signal to other businesses about the benefits of managing energy.

“I congratulate these organisations on their achievement in reaching the finals of the Awards. I’m really looking forward to celebrating their achievements at our Awards night.”

General Manager Business at the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), Greg Visser, congratulates the five finalists for the EECA Business Energy Management Award.

“Smart businesses take energy saving seriously. By reducing energy costs, improving productivity and reducing carbon emissions, energy efficiency helps New Zealand businesses to succeed, and improved business performance is good for all New Zealanders,” he says.

The Award winners will be announced at a black tie ceremony on Tuesday 24 November at Shed 10 on Auckland’s waterfront. All are welcome and tickets are available to purchase.
