The Sustainability Awards 2021
The Sustainability Partnership Awards showcase and recognise those organisations and NHS Trusts that have strived to implement sustainable change. The awards are to benchmark the achievements and progress being made across the healthcare landscape to make the world a greener place.
“This really is the highlight of the calendar for us where we get to celebrate the biggest and the best of what has come this year in NHS Sustainability”
This year we took the awards ceremony online for a one-hour webinar. We invited guest speakers as well as our judges to present the awards as entrants and those shortlisted watched in anticipation.
We were introduced to the awards by our founder and co-host Georgia Halston who explained the meaning behind the awards and why Sustainability Partnerships feels as though it is so important to recognise those making changes in public healthcare.
Our judges for the NHS award categories this year were:
Daphne De Leener, Senior Sustainability Consultant at ETL
Raj Patey, ACT. & European Green Labs Consultant at My Green Lab
Laura Elms, Head of Partnerships at HumanForest
