For organisations leading the way in sustainability, entering the 2025 NSW Sustainability Awards is more than recognition, it is a catalyst for growth, reflection and momentum. As past winners have shared, the journey itself is a powerful experience.
Carolyn Hall, chief executive of the Mulloon Institute and 2024 NSW Biodiversity Award winner, speaks from the heart: “It’s about having a deep belief in your work – knowing with certainty that what you dedicate your life to truly deserves to be acknowledged.” For her, the Awards shine a light on often-unseen efforts and provide a sense of internal confidence that galvanises entire teams.
There are unique opportunities too. “Not many awards processes provide direct feedback on your application, but this one does,” says Ellis Blaikie of Bridge Housing, 2024 NSW SME Sustainable Leadership Award winner. The program is designed to help every entrant identify new pathways for continuous improvement.
For Jack Kensey of Hawkesbury City Council, it was a turning point: “There has truly been a sustainability awakening.” His team discovered not just validation, but a new level of connection and collaboration.
Entering the NSW Sustainability Awards is a transformative step, celebrating innovation and driving a better future for us all.
2025 NSW Sustainability Awards close 9 September 2025.
