The Green Ribbon Awards 2010 are presented by the Minister for the Environment to recognise the outstanding contributions of individuals, organisations, businesses and communities to protecting and enhancing New Zealand’s environment.
As a nation, New Zealanders are committed to environmental sustainability. 2010 marks the 20th Green Ribbon Awards. The categories for this year’s awards reflect the Government’s environmental priorities and the many different areas in which New Zealanders contribute to reducing the impacts we have on our environment.
The carboNZero programme won the "Reducing our emissions" category. This award recognises those who have taken active steps to develop and implement strategies, programmes, products or services which reduce greenhouse gas levels. Other finalists in this category included Plastics NZ - Best Practice Energy programme (Manukau) and New Zealand Pork (Wellington).
