The awards bring together around 600 business leaders, sustainability executives, investors, entrepreneurs, and campaigners to celebrate the inspiring companies, projects, and individuals that are driving forward the UK's transition to a new zero and nature positive economy. The awards attract hundreds of entries across a wide range of categories, including innovation of the year, renewable energy project of the year, circular economy project of the year, entrepreneur of the year, small business of the year, and company of the year. The awards will open to entries in the first week of January, with the deadline for submitting completed entries falling on 27th February. The list of finalists will then be announced in late March, ahead of the winners and highly commended entries being unveiled at a glittering awards ceremony at The Brewery in central London on the evening of Wednesday 24th of June. To support the entry process, BusinessGreen will also host an exclusive webinar with some of the members of the awards judging panel, who can provide insights into the judging process and what makes a compelling entry.
