Environment Analyst launched our Sustainability Consulting Awards last year, to recognise ESG innovation, achievement and leadership, and to celebrate consultancies who have made significant advances in both their own, and their clients’, sustainable transformation.
Entries were open to environmental and sustainability consulting firms worldwide and to large and small service providers alike, as well as to their clients, partners and stakeholders.
The Environment Analyst-led judging panel was deeply impressed by the quantity and quality of awards entries this year, showcasing the extraordinary ingenuity and expertise of this industry in making strides to help solve the world’s most complex problems associated with the climate and biodiversity crisis and in supporting a just transition.
