About Us

The Banksia Foundation is a well-established not-for-profit organisation dedicated to working with industry and community to create an array of platforms to focus attention on the recognition of environmental excellence and sustainability. The Banksia Foundation was founded in 1989 by a diverse group of 44 Australians who shared a common goal to do more to support and recognise members of the community for their positive contribution to the environment. Today, Banksia is a strong and expanding brand, based on the integrity of the Banksia Awards and its activities. Our continued success is based on the partnerships developed with our sponsors, and the ability to be able to provide our sponsors with a practical and valuable marketing platform through recognising leadership and innovation amongst Australia's leading sustainability initiatives. The Banksia Foundation opens the door to a myriad of opportunities to make a real difference.
