Banksia Environmental Foundation

Banksia Environmental Awards Achieving a Sustainable Australia Recognising and rewarding environmental excellence Promoting best practice principles Contributing to action-learning and education

The Banksia Awards over the last 23 years have recognised many valuable Australian's for their tireless efforts in making a positive difference to our environment. Leading by example, the finalists and winners of the Banksia Environmental Awards have inspired and motivated other individuals, organisations and companies across Australia to take up the vision, pursuit and practice of environmental excellence.

Within Australia there are many initiatives and projects that are taking place that are making a difference today and more importantly ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.   The Banksia Environmental Foundation, through our Award Programs, aims to raise the profile of the current environmental issues facing Australia and recognise those whose initiatives are an encouragement and an example for others to follow.

What Banksia provides for our winners and finalists is the public recognition and acknowledgement for their achievements that can then be taken back to their community, organisation or industry and utilised to motivate and assist in providing the extra impetus for further progress, much needed funding, public support and furthering the process of increasing environmental awareness to the rest of Australia. 

Apart from the media coverage, recognition through our website and publicity material etc, the actual Awards are presented at a gala event involving a Cocktail / Welcoming evening on a Friday night and then the Awards dinner on the Saturday.  These events are not only an opportunity for the Finalists and Winners to celebrate but also an opportunity for others in the industry to network and make contact with people working in the environmental field from every perspective from all over Australia.
