And the winners of 2017 IS Awards are…

The 2017 IS Awards evening in Melbourne was our biggest to date, with 240 attendees. Hosted by Craig Reucassel, we enjoyed a fantastic evening of celebration, wine and humour. In terms of award nominations, we had a record number of award submissions this year, which is a real credit to the sustainability industry as a whole. We’d like to thank everybody that attended the evening, and to all award nominees, finalists and awards winners.
