Community Initiative of the Year
New Zealand Energy Excellence Awards 2019
The role of Unison's Greatest Supporter Programme in allowing sport to be more accessible - by prompting inclusion at grass roots level - ultimately promotes a healthy and active community, which has had an extremely positive impact on Hawke's Bay. Playing sport not only inspires happy and healthy children, it brings people together, encourages participation, develops talent and contributes to the wellbeing of our region. At the same time, the programme enables Unison to develop closer relationships with its customers to better understand their needs, while delivering electrical safety messages to educate children and their families on how to stay safe around its network.
