Finder has named its finalists in the fourth annual Finder Green Awards, highlighting the Australian businesses striving for excellence in sustainable practices.
The Finder Green Awards exist to help Australians make more sustainable decisions every day across several industries including energy, insurance, banking, shopping, superannuation and telecommunications.
Entrants were judged on broad environmental metrics including greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy usage and waste avoiding landfill, as well as a selection of industry-specific criteria to showcase how they’re paving the way for sustainability in their field over the last 12 months.
The people-based categories and the innovation award were based on key achievements from 2022 and their impact.
Returning finalists include Woolworths, felix Mobile and Teachers Mutual Bank Limited while brands like ALDI and AMP are making their Finder Green Awards debut.
The Finder Green Awards program is submission-based. In order to select our finalists, we scored each submission against a combination of general environmental and industry-specific criteria to determine the best performing entrants for each category.
Winners will be revealed at a breakfast event in Sydney on Thursday 1 June. Finalists will be sent instructions separately about how they can register their attendance.
