Sustainability Award

This award looks to celebrate Member companies displaying exceptional efforts in their sustainability agenda. It doesn’t matter what size or kind of company you represent, what matters is that your initiatives are making a real impact.

It’s more than just acknowledging excellent sustainability strategies, this Sustainability Award will recognise those that are truly having an impact on business, society and the environment. With sustainability now front and centre for business – emphasized by the evolving ESG regulation and growing scrutiny from stakeholders, shareholders, and consumers – this award gives companies a chance to pause, reflect and celebrate the progress your company is making to improve business as we know it.

For many organisations, the supply chain is responsible for most of their environmental footprint, and this category will consider companies that have helped tackle the various issues facing them. This might be through more local sourcing, using lower emission transport, reducing waste, sustainable materials or renewable energy usage or other innovations that embed the principles of sustainability in a transparent supply chain so that the organisation achieves a significant improvement in the sustainability of its end product(s) and/or service(s)

Community Engagement Award

In a world where the chemical supply chain is often seen unfavourably by residents living in and around the organisation’s location, this award aims to recognise member companies who can demonstrate varying qualities and commitment to their communities.

Entries should show how a project has

• Influenced the community
• How many people it has engaged
• What the lasting benefits will be & what the economic or social knock-on effect is that the project has created for the community

Particular note will be taken of programmes and projects that are aimed at improving community services, products and quality of life
