Green Business Awards 2009: Introduction
Management Today and ENDS are proud to present the results of the Green Business Awards 2009, organised by Haymarket Business Media. This year, we are delighted to announce 12 winners and a further 11 organisations that have been highly commended by our eminent independent judging panel.
In today's world, firms are increasingly beginning to integrate environmental issues into core business strategies. This only strengthens the rationale for ENDS and MT, with our different but complementary audiences, to produce the Green Business Awards in co-operation.
In a challenging year for the whole British economy, we introduced new categories for Green Product and Green Service of the year. The fantastic response that these inspired from entrants showed that there is no shortage of solid business ideas out there that can create jobs and growth and help address critical environmental challenges.
Effective management of carbon emissions has become a pressing concern for all businesses. Thousands are still starting to feel their way towards sensible strategies. This year's winners include inspiring examples of how much can be achieved.
