Leaders in sustainability recognised at the iiE Awards 2022 – Full Winners List
Wednesday 16th November marked the iiE Awards 2022 and the celebration of success in sustainable business. Organisations across over 550 sites in the UK were recognised for creating positive and long-lasting change in their working practices, to help tackle climate change and waste. These included those just starting out in sustainability all the way to those going above and beyond.
The online event also featured talks from renowned leaders in sustainability, Dr Sally Uren OBE, Chief Executive of Forum for the Future, and Henry Unwin, Director of Sustainability at Daylesford Organic. Both of whom discussed the importance of being a regenerative business and shared practical tips on how to implement learnings into organisations.
This year saw a 57% increase in organisations seeking out iiE accreditation, due to iiE success stories alongside market demands on businesses to make the net-zero transition. Current members have gone above and beyond despite difficult economic challenges, with approximately a third of this year’s submitted accreditations achieving Green, the highest iiE award level. iiE Green members alone saved enough electricity to power 1,500 homes for a year, demonstrating how carbon management can also cut costs.
April Sotomayor, General Manager & Principal Consultant, said, “12 years on from our launch, Investors in the Environment goes from strength to strength, empowering people and their organisations to account for their environmental footprint, learn what to do next, and benchmark their progress. We make it easy and rewarding for business to do their bit and get recognised for these efforts.”
