NZPM | 2021 Winners of Co-operative Business of the Year
In February 2022 Co-operative Business New Zealand (NZ COOP) named NZPM Co-operative as their 2021 winner of the Co-operative Business of the Year Award.
The award was presented to the Cooperative Business that made a significant and positive impact within the co-operative community during the 2020/ 2021 year (1 June 2020 – 31 May 2021).
The award is about celebrating the success of the co-operative business model and the winner had to clearly demonstrate the value of the model in returning benefits to members and to their local communities.
