Following evaluation and voting by a panel of expert judges, ACU Co-Lab is delighted to announce Victoria Edghill as the winner of the ACU Co-Lab Social Enterprise Award for 2022. Victoria has won $10,000 and six months of mentoring with an ACU executive.
Victoria`s three-minute pitch was for her social enterprise, Relievables which supports organisations to demonstrate their social and environmental impact. This is done by automating each step of a fragmented system, integrating seamlessly with existing business system and ultimately empowering organisations to take end-to-end control of their environmental, social, governance (ESG) landscape.
Victoria is the Founder and CEO of Relievables, an ESG Intelligence Platform that enables businesses to take control of their social and environmental impact. She is also the Founder of ethical fashion label Citizen of the Planet, a brand dedicated to closing the gap towards circularity and advocating for us all to behave as conscious citizens instead of mindless consumers.
View Victoria`s wining video pitch below.
The Co-Lab team were thrilled with the range and quality of innovative ideas from ACU students, staff and budding entrepreneurs that responded to the focus of the Social Enterprise Series.
We would like to thank all entrants for their participation in the initiative, particularly for their time in researching, practising, and recording their pitch video. We are further encouraged by the underlying positive impact intended by the various solutions presented.
