The iAwards are Australia’s leading ICT industry awards, and are presented by the country’s peak body representing the ICT sector  – the Australian Information Industry Association. The 2009 iAwards celebrates the industry’s accomplishments, contribution to strong and efficient business across the economy, and the importance of technology innovation to Australia’s international competitiveness.

On Tuesday 8th April 2009, the WSP Digital team received a Merit Award in the category ‘Sustainability and Green IT’.  The team won this award for their extensive work on EIATRACK (www.eiatrack.org). EIATRACK is the global benchmark in environmental intelligence and product-orientated regulatory tracking for the electronics industry.

The WSP Digital team has developed EIATRACK, in association with the Telecommunications Industry Association, into the world’s most comprehensive and respected online regulatory tracking tool used by the world’s leading brands and suppliers of ICT and consumer electronics equipment. At a time when environmental performance and product sustainability in the electronics sector are attracting increased government and consumer attention, EIATRACK is directly supporting companies to maximise business sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

Merit Awards were given in categories where multiple nominees were considered to be at an extremely high standard and deserved to take part in the National iAwards. WSP Environmental will go on to represent Victoria at the national iAwards Ceromony and will also have the opportunity to participate in the first ever Australian Innovation Showcase. Held on the day of the national iAwards gala dinner, all national finalists will be able to showcase their winning solutions to the national media and community.
