Green Business Awards
Extended deadline for entries: Friday 15 August 2008
The Green Business Awards will highlight and reward leadership on environment, sustainability and climate change by British companies.
Sustainability concerns have never been more important for business. Leading companies are coming up with new and innovative ways of reducing their overall environmental footprint, or that of their supply chain or customers. Increasingly companies are also demonstrating that low carbon, environmentally sustainable business strategies can also work commercially. Together these efforts are vital for Britain to play its part in moving towards a global green economy.
These advances are visible in all aspects of corporate activity. From strategy to greener industrial processes. From green chemistry to eco-design of products. From energy and resource efficiency to sustainable mobility. From environmental reporting to green marketing or staff incentive schemes.
The Green Business Awards will be a barometer of the newest, most innovative, most ambitious and most effective initiatives by UK business to respond to the pressing challenges of global sustainability.
All major business sectors will be represented and the 2008 awards will highlight this year's best efforts and achievements in each.
Haymarket's leading title for senior business managers, Management Today, and Haymarket's specialist environmental publishing unit, ENDS, have worked together to devise the nature of the Awards, the categories and criteria, and assembled the judging panel, under the important chairmanship of Professor John Chesshire, and defined the judging process.
