After whitling down hundreds of entries from organisations large and small across the public and private sectors, this year’s shortlist is made up of 131 people, projects, products and organisations that are together redefining what it means to be a sustainable, ethical and responsible business.

This year, the RSA-accredited Sustainability Leaders Awards have undergone a major revamp, with a new judging panel and a host of new categories – including new awards linked to edie’s Mission Possible campaign.

The entire edie team would like to congratulate all of this year’s Awards finalists, and we look forward to celebrating with you on the evening of 6 February 2019 at the Park Plaza London Westminster. It is highly recommended that you book your table at the Awards before the early-bird booking rate expires on 16 November (premium tables are limited).
