What is the Sustainability Award?
Recognised globally, the Sustainability Award celebrates the best most eco-friendly products and services that are setting the benchmark for sustainability in their sectors. Applying is free and takes a few minutes. There is a fee for winning applicants to license use of the Sustainability Award seal and optional promotional services.
About each award type
Applicants can apply for one or both of the award types below. One application form can be used to apply for a product award and organisation award, or for multiple products awards. Our criteria align with the six environmental UN Sustainable Development Goals of; responsible consumption and production, climate action, life on land, sustainable cities & communities, life below water and clean energy.
Organisation Sustainability Award
The Organisation Award is for a whole organisation. Any type of organisation can apply, including product-based, service based or not-for-profit. Organisations are assessed on how they operate overall.
The Organisation Award can be displayed on the winner’s website and in general marketing materials. If a product-based organisation applies, all products are considered as a whole.
Please note that organisations using significant virgin plastic will not be awarded. For product-based businesses that have some exceptionally sustainable products and some which still have a way to go, we suggest applying for individual product awards for the most sustainable, rather than an organisation award.
Product Sustainability Award
This award assesses individual products on their environmental merit. Other similar products in the market are considered to benchmark the level of sustainability. The overall organisation and other products are not assessed. One application form can be used for multiple products – please specify which are being submitted. This award seal can be used on the winning products.
You will receive an address to send product samples to after the form is submitted, either in Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK, Germany or South Korea. If due to the value or distance of your product this is not possible, we can assess virtually, as long as detailed information and evidence is provided, along with significant customer reviews.
