EMBR Group has been named one of the ‘coolest’ companies in Australia.

EMBR Group has been honoured as one of the TOP 100 Coolest Companies in Australia in the annual Australian Anthill Cool Company Awards.

The Cool Company Awards is a national program that was developed in 2006 to recognise Australian companies that are doing things differently to bring about positive change.

Over 700 aspiring ‘cool companies’ were nominated for the awards, making ‘The Cools’ one of the largest business awards programs in Australia.

“The Cool Company Awards are extremely egalitarian,” said Awards Founder James Tuckerman. “Previous winners have included two-person start-ups, not-for-profit social enterprises, large private companies and publicly-listed corporations.”

“Judging takes into account far more than mere business variables, such as revenue and wealth. The criteria are geared to consider other qualities, from the disruptive nature of the product or service to the culture of the organisation.”

“Applicants either nominated themselves or were nominated by peers, work colleagues, family, friends and other ‘admirers’. A field of hundreds was examined (and cross-examined) before our judges were able to isolate three Finalists for each of our seven categories.”

What are Cool Company Awards?

The Cool Company Awards was launched in 2006 as a way for Anthill Magazine to publicly acknowledge and celebrate Australian organisations that are doing things differently to bring about positive change. In its seventh year, the awards attracted nominations from over 700 organisations, making it among the largest business award programs in Australia.
