Freightways and Toyota New Zealand have been named finalists in the Deloitte Top 200 Awards for 2022.
The awards showcase the best of New Zealand business and their commercial strength in a world which has reopened borders but not yet returned to business as usual.
Freightways and Toyota NZ are up for the Best Growth Strategy award, alongside Scott Technology.
“Our finalists have had time in recent years to re-evaluate what mattered most to their organisation. Delivering stakeholder value has still been top of mind but viewed through a wider lens that also encompasses sustainability and climate, diversity and inclusion, business culture and employee wellbeing, said Deloitte chief executive Mike Horne.
“They’re also focused on the challenges of reconnecting with the world and re-engaging with people, and through continued agility and a committed long-term focus, our 2022 finalists have taken these challenges and turned them into opportunities.”The winners will be announced 8 December.
