Wall of Events United Kingdom 2009 Green Awards, for Creativ...
Launched in 2006 to critical acclaim, the Green Awards were set up to recognise and reward creative work that communicates the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility, sustainable development and ethical best practice in any sector and across any marketing discipline.
In the four years since its inception, the awards have become an established event on the global eco-calendar highlighting the best examples of green marketing and sustainability communications that have made a real difference in the fight against global warming.
Rt Hon Lord Smith of Finsbury, Chairman of both the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and The Environment Agency commented, “The need to care for our planet, husband our resources wisely, and sustain our environment is becoming ever more urgent and important. These awards help to put that cause at the very heart of our creative economy. They will help us to aim higher. They will both reward and encourage best practice; and as a result I give them the warmest of possible welcomes.”
The awards set out to illustrate the crucial role that needs to be played by communications in informing people about green issues, products and lifestyle choices. It’s evident now there’s an increasing appetite from business and industry for examples of excellence and best practice in communicating sustainability and green issues which the Green Awards showcase.
The Green Awards recognise excellence in 16 categories from Best Green International Campaign open to global entrants to Best Green Campaigner for individuals and small groups championing sustainability.
This year, four new categories have been introduced to acknowledge the ever-increasing breadth and depth of green marketing:
• Best Green Public Sector Campaign Award – for the best communication that has influenced public behaviour, whether through transforming consumption patterns, recycling, smarter driving or energy efficiency etc.
• Best Green Charity Award – for groundbreaking and engaging campaigns that raise awareness of environmental issues from social enterprises, not for profits and NGO’s.
• Best Green Event Award – to recognise sustainability in the execution of events and evidence of working with the supply chain to reduce their carbon footprint.
• Best CSR Report Award – for outstanding reports that really engage readers and communicate sustainability issues in a clear, transparent and effective way.
