We are proud to announce that the Winnings has been included in the Australian Financial Review’s 2024 Sustainability Leaders List, winning in the category of Retail, Hospitality, Tourism & Entertainment.

Industries worldwide are undergoing profound transformation as they integrate sustainability across all aspects of business to innovate and enact urgent, collective action toward sustainable solutions. The AFR’s Sustainability Leaders list aims to recognise and celebrate Australian companies that are making significant strides in addressing sustainability challenges while simultaneously creating business value.

The AFR collaborates with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to compile the Sustainability Leaders list. BCG partners with businesses, governments, and social enterprises to expedite their climate and sustainability efforts by pinpointing and leveraging climate innovations, integrating sustainability on a large scale, and capturing the value generated by these initiatives.
