The first ever Guardian Sustainable Business Awards are aiming to deliver a long-term legacy to the corporate sustainability community, particularly through the creation of a best practice exchange. The awards themselves aim to showcase genuine innovation in corporate sustainability through recognising & rewarding those who take sustainability to the very heart of their businesses.
Announced on 26th May, the winners of the awards will be added to the best practice exchange, demonstrating the guiding practices and principles for corporate sustainability.
The shortlist for the awards has now been released and some big names are featured across a wide range of categories, from energy and carbon to communicating sustainability and engaging employees. To view the full shortlist, please click here.
In the supply chain category, Unilever, Lend Lease and Chest of Drawers Ltd are praised for their sustainable sourcing projects and processes.
