“Despite the immensity of the environmental challenge, the truth
is, almost everything that needs doing is already being done,
somewhere. If ‘best practice’ today became the norm tomorrow, we’d
be half way there already. The Sustainable City Awards proves not
only that solutions exist, but that where they are adopted,
companies invariably flourish as a result.” Zac Goldsmith,
February 2009.
The Sustainable City Awards are one of ten UK feeder schemes
to the European Business Awards. All business winners
will be considered for entry into the Europe- wide scheme which
