Counting down to the Top 200
9 November 2016
High performing Kiwi business leaders are counting down the days until this year’s Deloitte Top 200 Awards are announced
on 1 December, and MinterEllisonRuddWatts is once again proud sponsor of the Excellence in Governance Award.
The Excellence in Governance Award recognises outstanding performance in organisational governance, with the award
winner evaluated against criteria determined with the Institute of Directors and aligned with the New Zealand Securities
Commission Corporate Governance Principles and Guidelines. Finalists for the MinterEllisonRuddWatts Excellence in
Governance Award are:
- Nuplex - a leading chemical manufacturer of coating and composite resins
- ACC - the Government’s workplace accident insurance company
- Dr Lester Levy - renown adjunct professor, chairman and director
Chair of MinterEllisonRuddWatts and a Top 200 award judge, Cathy Quinn is inspired by the calibre of entries and the
theme of this year’s Top 200 - Investing in the Future.
"We see these awards as the premier business awards in New Zealand and we are delighted to be associated with them. For
us it's a night to put aside individual and company competitiveness and to recognise excellence and success in our
business community. It's a night to be proud to be a kiwi as we reflect on the success of others in our business and
governance community,"says Cathy Quinn.
"We sponsor the Governance Award because we believe thatgood governance is unquestionably key to business success and
ultimately the prosperity of our nation. Poor or bad governance leads to business failure and organisations not meeting
their potential. It requires individuals to stand up at times, and sometimes it requires individuals to stand against
the tide. We are proud to support those that are getting it right."
The awards showcase the Top 200 largest New Zealand businesses based on revenue performance, as well as an additional
list of the country’s Top 30 financial enterprises assessed by asset value. Winners will be announced at a black-tie
awards dinner on 1 December at Vector Arena, Auckland.
