The UK’s largest and most prestigious sustainable business awards scheme has officially opened for entries, offering organisations and individuals the opportunity to be recognised and celebrated for leading on sustainability, energy and climate action.
Now in their 17th year, the renowned edie Awards celebrate the individuals, projects and partnerships driving bold and brilliant climate leadership. The Awards recognise and reward a range of projects, spanning net-zero carbon programmes, green innovations, climate partnerships, social sustainability initiatives, and grassroots change-makers.
The entry deadline is Friday 13 October 2023. The Awards ceremony will then take place at the Park Plaza Westminster Hotel on 6 March 2024.
This year, the edie Awards will kick off Business Leadership Month – edie’s themed month of content and events which provides a platform for recognition among thousands of businesses and climate experts.
Commenting on the Awards launch, edie’s publisher Luke Nicholls said: “From the great challenges of the cost-of-living crisis to the ongoing battle to reverse climate breakdown and deliver a net-zero future, we’re proud to continue celebrating the best of corporate excellence on sustainability.
“With an esteemed judging panel and a broad spectrum of categories, we can’t wait to recognise and celebrate the people, projects and pioneering organisations who are together transforming business, for good.”
