Energy Management

Energy management is one of the most important issues facing our organisations today. There is the unprecedented rising cost of energy, energy storage and, therefore, reduced resource. And then there is the ongoing commitment by organisations to reduce the energy they use in order to reduce their environmental impact. If your organisation has a solution that will help solve any of these issues, or if you have successfully completed a project that has reduced your own impact and will help or inspire others then our awards panel would like you to nominate for this category.

We are nowhere without those individuals and organisations that push boundaries and take that leap of faith to create incredible new innovations. That is why this category is so important to our panel and why they want to reward you for those efforts. Be it a product, a service, an initiative? You tell us.

Waste Management

At the core of every robust sustainability strategy is the desire and determination to identify and address waste. To scrutinise what comes into your organisation against what goes out as waste in all its many forms. That is why this category is so vital to this awards programme. Has your organisation created a winning solution or formula to help organisations identify or reduce their waste? Or, has your organisation carried out a project that will help and inspire others? Our panel wants to hear from you.

Waste comes in so many forms and no sustainability strategy stands up to scrutiny without innovative solutions to help them reduce it. Reducing waste also has a big impact on cost savings for a business or organisation, it is literally worth its weight in gold. So, if you have created any product, service or initiative that will help organisations out there to reduce or manage their waste then please enter free today.

General Category

Recognising a company or organisation that has implemented an outstanding project or initiative which has significantly reduced their environmental impact.

Or, a product or service that enables the implementation of an initiative to significantly reduce the environmental impact of our organisations.
