The Sustain Chain Awards 2024

There is no doubt that sustainability plays a crucial role in modern business. Through recognising organisations and individuals that are advancing sustainable practices, contributing to change, and inspiring others to do the same, these awards celebrate the achievements of those who are working to build a brighter and more sustainable future.

Nominations are closed

Achieving sustainability if often about making a number of small changes that work towards reaching a long-term goal. From reducing costs, through to replacing equipment with more environmentally friendly opens, there are many ways we can work towards achieving sustainability across the supply chain. If you or your business has implemented changes to achieve sustainability, this category is for you. Tell us what you did, why, and the impact it will have.

Since the launch of initiatives such as the Plastic Pact, the world has become increasingly aware of the need to eliminate our reliance on single use plastic. We have already seen some great changes in the food and drinks markets but there is still much to be done across the supply chain. We are looking forward to receiving nominations for the individuals or businesses who have made changes, big or small, to reduce the use of single plastics.

Carbon emissions are damaging the environment and are a great cause of concern for many of us. While rising fuel prices may have us scrambling for ways to reduce our reliance on transport, from a long-term perspective, businesses need to find more ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Whether you are talking about a small change or an initiative that has taken significant investment, please nominate your champion for this award.

The importance of corporate social responsibility is on the rise. Consumers want to ensure they are choosing to buy from businesses that value their workforce, who offer visibility of their supply chain, and who always act responsibly. This category is the perfect opportunity to nominate yourself, a colleague, or a company for the efforts they have made to deliver positive improvements to their corporate social responsibilities. From changes to policies, through to the introduction of a new supplier selection process, there is much work being done across the globe, and we can’t wait to hear all about it.

This award is designed to celebrate the work individuals and businesses are doing to support sustainable improvements. This could include for example, professionals who are always looking for new ways to deliver improvements, or those who take pride in educating others on the importance of sustainability. From a company perspective, this could include a business that has invested time and resources to support others with achieving sustainability.

Accidents at work not only cause employee absence, but they can also lead to legal action against a business, damage workplace morale, and negatively impact the reputation of the business. This is also true for bullying and harassment, a lack of protection for lone workers, and so much more. Creating a safe work environment is a necessity for modern business. We are looking for nominations for individuals and businesses that have made practical changes to the workplace to ensure a safe environment for all.

Coming up with ways to make sustainable changes is often a straightforward process. Implementing those changes, however, can require huge amounts of effort, persistence, and skill. For this award we are looking for nominations for individuals and businesses that have taken steps within the workplace that will deliver measurable changes towards achieving sustainability now or in the future.

This award recognises charities, social enterprises and community projects which have shown outstanding commitment to their causes. We are looking forward to hearing from you about the fantastic support being provided to individuals, groups or communities, amazing fundraising projects and outstanding success stories. Whether you work with one of these groups, have been involved in the work they do, or have benefited from their support, we would love to hear from you.
