Celebrate excellence in supplier diversity with the Amotai Supplier Diversity Awards. We want to shine a light on excellence in the supplier diversity movement in Aotearoa.

 

Elevate your impact and seize the spotlight! It's time to celebrate your contributions to supplier diversity in Aotearoa by nominating your organisation or one of your kaimahi (employees)for the Amotai Supplier Diversity Awards. Don't be whakamā,—now is the time to showcase your achievements in supporting Māori and Pasifika pakihi and inspire others in the industry.

Step forward, share your story, and encourage others to celebrate exceptional supplier diversity practice – it is the people and the stories that keep the momentum of this movement. Nominate yourself, your organisation, your leaders or someone in your network that is shaping the future of supplier diversity in Aotearoa.

Winners will be announced at the Amotai Supplier Diversity Awards Gala Dinner on 26 August 2025.
