Sustainability & Green Business Award
Sponsored by Exeter University:
The Sustainability & Green Business Award recognises a company that is leading the way in environmentally conscious business practices and demonstrating a genuine commitment to protecting Cornwall’s natural resources for future generations.
This category celebrates a business that has successfully integrated sustainability into its core operations—whether through reducing carbon emissions, embracing renewable energy, championing circular economy principles, or implementing innovative eco-friendly solutions. The winner will be a company that not only achieves measurable environmental impact, but also inspires others in the community and industry to adopt greener practices. Beyond environmental achievements, this award honours a business that combines sustainability with commercial success, showing that responsible, ethical, and forward-thinking strategies can go hand in hand with growth, innovation, and long-term resilience.
The Sustainability & Green Business Award shines a light on a business that is shaping a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future for Cornwall, setting the standard for environmental leadership and demonstrating the real-world difference a committed organisation can make.
Kindly sponsored by Exeter University:
The University of Exeter combines world-class research with excellent student satisfaction, from our campuses in the South West of England, in Exeter and Cornwall. We are one of the very few universities to be both a member of the Russell Group and have a Gold award from the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), evidence of our established international reputation for excellence in both teaching and research. Our success is built on a strong partnership with our students and a clear focus on high performance.
Changing lives through education since 1851
Key to our success are our two Cornwall campuses: the Truro Campus and the Knowledge Spa on the Royal Cornwall Hospital site, and the Penryn Campus where some of the world’s biggest challenges relating to the environment, health and sustainability are tackled. Our Truro Campus is a base for a proportion of students from the University’s College of Medicine and Health, as well as the European Centre for Environment and Human Health. On our Penryn Campus, investments to the Science and Engineering Research Support Facility (SERSF) and the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) put not only the University, but also Cornwall as a whole, at the forefront of research aiming to solve problems associated with environmental change. This commitment to sustainability underpins our ethos and recurs throughout our degree programmes as well as in student societies, clubs and the running of the campus.
