Check out all the finalists for the UK's most prestigious and competitive Green Business Awards
BusinessGreen is today proud to announce the finalists for the UK Green Business Awards 2025. This year's short listing process was more competitive than ever with almost 500 high quality entries across 30 categories under consideration. We are delighted to be able to recognise so many trail-blazing businesses, investors, individuals, and projects that are working every day to advance the green economy.
The winners and highly commended entries will be announced at a gala dinner and glittering awards ceremony on the evening of Wednesday June 11th, which will bring together 600 top business leaders, politicians, executives, investors, entrepreneurs, and campaigners for a celebration of the best of the UK's green economy.
Hosted with support from our sponsors - Osborne Clarke and Sustainable Ventures - the UK Green Business Awards are the UK's most prestigious and coveted awards for the country's burgeoning green business community.
We are expecting it to be a sell-out event, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
