James & Wells Won An Award
29 November 2012
James & Wells was named winner of this year’s Northern Region Sustainable Business Network Medium Business (Trailblazer) Award. The award reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to sustainable business demonstrated by a number of initiatives in the last year. The Sustainable Business Network is a not-for-profit organization in New Zealand for businesses interested in sustainable business practices.
“This award is recognition of all the hard work put in by the James & Wells team, and particularly the Sustainable Business Committee, over the last 12 months,” says senior associate Jonathan Lucas. “Far from resting on our laurels, I hope we will now be inspired to make even greater strides in the journey to becoming a truly sustainable business.”
Earlier this year, James & Wells announced an innovative new sustainability strategy which includes donating 5% of its fees from ‘sustainable clients’ to coastal cleanup charity Sustainable Coastlines. To qualify, clients must be members of either Sustainable Business Network, Sustainable Business Council or be CEMARS or carboNZero certified organizations.
