20,879 nominations and 246 Australia-wide finalists including 60 in South Australia. And Responsible Cafes was one of them! We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Responsible Cafes was named as a Finalist in the Telstra Best of Business Awards in the Promoting Sustainability category!
Our General Manager, Marion Vigot, recently attended the gala in South Australia to accept the award.
This award recognises the positive impact of our business education program in over 65 council areas and the hard work of our team and volunteers, resulting in 64 millions single use items diverted from landfill and 5,000 Accredited Responsible Cafes in Australia!

After one of the hardest award applications we’ve been through, we are so excited to be recognised for our efforts as a community of cafes, keen beans, councils, and universities. Congratulations to everyone on your continued hard work in creating a more sustainable society!
And congratulations to all Finalists and State winners, it is truly a privilege to have been selected among 20,000+ nominated projects in 2022!
