Two companies operating Down Under — Alcoa World Alumina Australia and Greening Australia — have been given that country’s Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Community Business Partnerships.
The companies have been in a partnership for the past 21 years, during which time they have planted more than 10 million trees, provided special tools for environmental restoration to farmers, given land-care groups access to specialist machinery and equipment, and improved seed supply for revegetation.
“Alcoa has made an unprecedented contribution to rural and regional Australia through their support of the land-care movement,” says Carl Binning, CEO of Greening Australia. “It’s imperative that we partner with the business sector, government and community to address the extensive environmental issues we face here.”
Greening Australia is based in Yarralumla, in the Australian Capital Territory.
The Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Community Business Partnerships are run at the state and territory level.
