SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Criteria...

Always forward-facing, The Queen’s Awards have constantly evolved and changed to better reflect UK industry and business development. To this end, a new awards category was introduced in 1993, under the heading Environmental Achievement. This new award reflected the growing awareness of man’s impact on the environment and how manufacturing and processing operations could take steps to reduce our carbon footprint both locally and globally. In 2001 this award was updated to better reflect how businesses were tackling their environmental impact through the development of positive strategies to encourage new, less damaging ways of doing business: it was renamed Sustainable Development. While this remains one of the smaller awards categories, the achievements made by the companies involved are hugely beneficial and demonstrate how business and sustainability can go hand-in-hand. There were 17 winners in the Sustainable Development category for 2021. The general eligibility criteria for The Queen’s Awards can be found on the website https://www.gov.uk/queens-awards-for-enterprise/eligibility. There are further, additional criteria that must be met to ensure eligibility for the Sustainable Development category. You must: z Show how you have achieved outstanding sustainable development for more than two years; z Provide evidence of the benefits or positive outcomes of your actions or interventions.
