After a successful inaugural year in 2023, the BIA is once again calling for nominations for the Sustainability in the Boating Industry Award.

Nominees will be assessed on their achievements in reducing environmental impacts through actions such as use of sustainable materials and manufacturing processes, contributing to emissions reduction, and/ or implementing sustainable business practices.

Nominations must be returned by 3 July 2024.

The winner will be announced at the Sydney International Boat Show in August where they will receive a trophy and certificate, as well as $2000 towards upskilling staff in Sustainability practices.
