State winners line up for next month’s national CCAA Innovation Awards
The winners of this year’s state CCAA Innovation Awards are now locked in and all eyes turn to next month’s announcement of the winners of the biennial national CCAA Innovation Awards.
These will be presented at the 2018 Construction Materials Industry Conference (CMIC) gala dinner in Sydney on September 20.
The 2018 State winners join the 2017 winners to compete for awards in three national categories – Environmental, Health and Safety and – new in 2018 - Community Leadership.
The Awards recognise best practice and underline the industry’s strong commitment to creating stronger community relationships, safer workplaces and ‘cleaner, greener’ operations.
“This year’s State Awards were again hotly contested, with over 140 submissions across all states and categories,” says CCAA CEO, Ken Slattery.
“I congratulate all our participants and thank them for sharing the innovative work they’re doing across these important business areas. I’d also like to thank our sponsors for their tremendous support.”
