  CLEANCORP WINS MOST SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS AWARD

 

Cleancorp was recognised for its commitment to the environment at the 2009 Her Businesswoman of the Year awards taking out the Most Sustainable business award. The award celebrates a business that has excelled in eco-friendly initiatives in their workplace. Judges were also looking for an ongoing commitment to improve sustainability. Cleancorp demonstrated a commitment to both environmental sustainability and to giving back to the community through its various sponsorships.

Cleancorp director Yolande Ellis established the company seven years ago and since then it has grown to 471 customers and 71 franchisees. The company's solid trading result over this time at both the revenue and operating profit level is testament to its financial success. Ellis says she has recognised the growing trend of increasing New Zealand's 'clean, green' image is something that more and more businesses are catching on to.

Cleancorp uses eco-friendly products and offers a paper-recycling scheme to customers. Says Ellis: "The award is great recognition for something we are passionate about as a company. We hope others follow our lead and seek to develop more environmentally sustainable practises in their business."
