To celebrate outstanding performance in the region and to highlight exceptional achievement as an example for others to follow

The South East England Development Agency Sustainable Business Awards 2006 aim to encourage, inspire and champion a sustainable approach to business in the South East of England. The Awards celebrate excellence, demonstrate significant sustainable achievements and disseminate best practice widely.

Our finalists have visibly and powerfully demonstrated their commitment to embracing sustainable business practices, through the integration of economic, social and environmental objectives in both their operations and strategic planning. For the Award winners, harnessing sustainable behaviour is intrinsically aligned to accelerating business competitiveness in the region.
