BOSS Awards 2024

Sustainable Leadership Award

Sustainability is recognised as a core element in well-run businesses of all sizes.  Delivering operational efficiency, business and supply chain resilience, and adding value to society, it is not only a critical component of a responsible company but one which adds competitive edge.

Who should enter?

The BOSS Sustainable Leadership Awards seek to recognise those businesses that are leading the transition to business models that are fit for tomorrow.  These companies are responsive to the changes in the environment and society and find in them the opportunities to drive commercial success.  Open to all sizes and types of business, the judges will evaluate entries against the three pillars of sustainability: social, economic and environmental.

Awards will be made to those businesses that score highly enough to be regarded as true leaders in sustainability.  Businesses that can evidence innovation and going beyond mere legal compliance.

What the judges are looking for:

  • Judges will expect to see supporting evidence for all claims made. The judges will be experienced practitioners of sustainability and will expect a suitable standard of evidence.
  • Supporting evidence may be submitted for any section provided it is labelled with the relevant section number.
  • Evidence may include, but not be limited to, tables of data, spreadsheets, graphs, ISO certificates, marketing material/flyers and printed webpages.
  • Winning entries will have demonstrated that the principles of sustainability have been embedded into how the company operates. 
  • Judges will look for managed, quantified improvements over a period as well as demonstrations of leadership through inventive, inspiring solutions and innovative approaches. 
  • The company culture will be shown to reflect these values.
