CHAMBER CHAMPIONS

BUSINESS OF THE MONTH

The Redlands Coast Chamber of Commerce is committed to providing a pathway to connect, engage and champion local businesses. As part of this pathway, we offer to local businesses the chance to showcase their achievements through a Business of the Month Awards Program.

This program aims to recognise local businesses that are champions and leaders in their fields, industry, and practices; in line with the requirements of positive procurement, including Environment, Social and Governance.

To highlight the local businesses displaying excellence in this regard, we have aligned our Business of the Month awards with four key categories:

Champion of Community
Champion of Sustainability
Champion of Economic Development
Champion of Country
