The awards are a new way of recognising Australia’s sustainable excellence under the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of global goals to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and protect the planet and something World’s Biggest Garage Sale are strongly aligned with – check out our To Do List.  Our team is enormously proud to have won this award highlighting our work furthering the SDGs in Australia, in particular SDG17 Partnership for the Goals through our partnership with Officeworks, with comments from Banksia foundation below.

The partnership between Officeworks and WBGS has taken product stewardship and resource recovery to the next level, it uniquely demonstrates how major national retailers can partner with small social enterprises to mutually benefit both stakeholders while deepening each business’ connection to the local community, and giving them the power to create even greater change and impact for the circular economy and Sustainable Development Goals.
