Paint maker Resene has been awarded top honours at the National Sustainable Business Network Awards in Auckland last night.
Resene's Eco.Decorator programme's headway in encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices in the industry, despite the "challenging" audience of professional painters, particularly impressed the judges.
The company was also reducing its waste, had introduced a renewable component in one of its products, and collects and recycles unused paint and other waste.
As well as Business of the Year, the Wellington-based company was also placed first in the large and corporate section.
Hamilton-based Pinnacle Underlay and Christchurch-based Serra Natural Foods won the small and medium business awards, while Whakatane-based Energy Options took out the not-for-profit award.
