Southern Sydney Business Awards

Breen Resources was named Winner of the Excellence in Sustainability category at the 2026 Southern Sydney Business Awards, held on Friday 19 June at Rydges Cronulla. The award, sponsored by Deloitte, recognises businesses across the Sutherland Shire and southern Sydney doing genuine work on sustainability and environmental practice.

For a family business that has been operating on the Kurnell Peninsula since 1949, the award lands at the end of a genuinely busy year at our resource recovery facility, including an independent audit against the Green Star Construction and Demolition Waste Reporting Criteria, a clean unannounced NSW EPA inspection, and confirmation of over 85% landfill diversion rate for FY26.

What the award recognises

The Excellence in Sustainability category acknowledges businesses demonstrating measurable environmental leadership through the way they operate day to day. Being named winner means a great deal to our team at Kurnell.

Onwards to the Sydney Business Awards

Winners of each Southern Sydney category automatically progress as Regional Finalists in the Sydney Business Awards, and Breen Resources will now go forward to that stage.

We look forward to representing the Sutherland Shire and the Southern Sydney business community at the Sydney event in September.

Our thanks to the Sutherland Shire Business Chamber for hosting the 2026 awards, to Deloitte as the Excellence in Sustainability category sponsor, and to Mayor Jack Boyd and The Hon. Mark Speakman MP for speaking on the night. Congratulations also to the other category winners recognised at the event.

Most of all, thank you to our team at Kurnell, our customers, and the Sutherland Shire community. This recognition belongs as much to you as it does to us.
