The Scenic Rim region is home to internationally-recognised rainforests, prosperous and vibrant rural villages, productive farmlands and important river systems. As a result, many people, businesses and communities in the region are interested and active in the field of sustainability by ensuring that the region protects and enhances its environmental, social, economic and cultural assets.

Sustainability is about meeting the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. At its most basic level, sustainability is the ability to keep going.

Business sustainability includes four main elements: environmental, economic, social and cultural.

We recommend that businesses participate in the Building Sustainable Small Business Program free workshops or mentoring, training and leadership program to develop a good understanding of sustainability practice and how to bring it into your own business. Businesses and enterprises that have participated in other sustainability-related programs or study will also be eligible for listing.
