Why this belongs on a sustainability directory
By offering discounted pricing specifically for early-stage social enterprises and nonprofits, Fairground removes a real barrier, the cost of proper financial management, that often trips up purpose-driven ventures before they can scale, supporting SDG8 (decent work and economic growth). Its work helping other organisations pursue B Corp certification also extends its impact past its own client accounts, building sustainable business practices into the wider New Zealand social enterprise sector.
