BusinessGreen has today announced the finalists for the UK Green Business Awards 2024, the UK’s most prestigious celebration of the best of the green economy.
The shortlist is announced ahead of the glittering awards ceremony and dinner on the evening of Wednesday 12th June, and finalists can now book their place and join around 600 top green business executives, investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, campaigners in showcasing the achievements of the fast-expanding sustainable business community.
Following the success of last year’s sell-out inaugural awards, the UK Green Business Awards has moved to a larger venue in the form of the Brewery in Farringdon, and finalists are advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
“The UK Green Business Awards are always a fantastic celebration of this most important of sectors,” said BusinessGreen editor-in-chief, James Murray. “This year’s awards were more competitive than ever with over 400 entries, including submissions from many of the UK’s most successful and high profile businesses. Huge congratulations must go to all our finalists and we look forward to celebrating with them in the summer.”
BusinessGreen is also delighted to announce Eunomia and Osborne Clark have been confirmed as the first sponsors of the UK Green Business Awards 2024. If you would like to become a partner of this year’s awards, please get in touch through the event website.
