1 Million people reached

Interest in the awards and our winners has continued to increase throughout the year, with at least 1 million people reached across all of our online platforms:

• 10,880% increase in website visitors between February and November alone
• We reached number 1 on Google for the search term “Sustainability Award” in early July. The fact our name matches the term certainly helped. But we were initially at number 89, with many other long-standing Sustainability Award schemes higher up than us. So, to climb the ranks so fast is testament to our rapidly growing interest, back links, clicks and SEO know-how.
• 378,000 views on Sustainability Award social media across Instagram, Facebook & LinkedIn from both organic and paid content.
