CREST22 Business Awards brings value to being green

CREST22 Business Awards – Surrey’s only green business awards – are showing commercial acumen in one of the UK’s wealthiest economies

Due to be held on May 19th at the UK head offi ces of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Woking, CREST22.

Open to companies and organisations based or working in Surrey, they are a celebration of business environmental sustainability in Surrey and are integral to headline sponsor, Surrey County Council’s Greener Future programme.

Cllr Marisa Heath, Surrey Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment, says: “We’re delighted to be headline sponsor for the CREST awards again this year. It’s a great initiative to shine a light on the fantastic work Surrey businesses are doing to reduce their carbon footprint. Supporting the green economy in Surrey is an essential part of helping us achieve our aim of being a net zero carbon county by 2050.”

Returning sponsor Mayer Brown Ltd, is backing the Going Circular Award category for the second year. Andrea Hughes, Mayer Brown Ltd Technical Director says: “We have returned as a sponsor because of the positive experience of being involved previously. We also wish to be involved in pushing the sustainable agenda within our community, and to applaud the high calibre and credibility of the other organisations involved.”

Meanwhile, CREST21 Business Transforming Food Award winner Danielle Bekker says: “The value of the CES consultation through CREST Business Awards has been in helping me to think differently about what we stand for and to better integrate that sustainability message into who we are as a business.”

Nick Diprose, Founding Partner of Holdsway, the Efficiency Champion Awards Sponsor for a second year, says: “The CREST Awards raise the profile of the benefits of a positive environmental strategy,” adds Nick. “Using all our available resources – including people – in the most effi cient ways possible will have long-lasting and positive results for businesses. We support the continuous efforts of organisations to seek out more effi cient ways of working and today, more than ever, that includes being environmentally sustainable.”

Free to enter, the awards work in association with the University of Surrey’s Centre for Environment and Sustainability and the Woking News & Mail. Entrants can enter any of the fi ve award categories: Transforming Food, Going Circular, Efficiency Champion, Sustainability Impact and Smarter Transport. A sixth accolade for 2022 Sustainability Hero is awarded by the judges choice.
