Follow on Google News | USave Wins "Good Business Egg" of New Zealand AwardBusiness and Community Shares (BACS) Recognizes Socially Responsible Business
By: USave.co.nz Nominations were generated when 66 New Zealand companies were put through their paces on their commitment to the community without their knowledge. “The award is significant because businesses get some acknowledgement for what they do and the value lies in what the community truly thinks of them,” says the organiser of the event and founder of BACS Julie Donvin-Irons. In addition to USave, the finalists were Contact Energy, BNZ Bank, Genesis Energy, CQ Hotels Wellington, Fonterra, NZ Post, Vodafone, and ANZ Bank. “We were just so proud to be recognized amongst these landmark NZ businesses,” USave is an online shopping and auction site that makes a donation with every purchase and each time a customer registers to sell an item. With over 200 charities, clubs, schools and non-profits participating, it is the single largest fundraising portal in New Zealand. The company is looking for investment capital and is poised to capture a percentage of the New Zealand online retail market, currently valued at over $2.9 billion and growing at approximately 12% per year. BACS is a new organisation that facilitates community and business relationships to assess and improve corporate social responsibility strategies and benefit the welfare of everyday New Zealanders. Supported by The Stanley East Company, BACS has already attracted 55 organisations to participate in a community-oriented “hub” to “exchange information, skills and wisdom.” End
