26 November 2021
 

Where can you find organisations that are succeeding when it comes to carbon reduction, supply chain engagement and social responsibility? The Planet Mark Awards is the ideal place to start.

The Planet Mark Awards, sponsored by Prologis UK  is a celebration of excellence across sustainability.

It is an evening to celebrate the Planet Mark members who are tackling the global challenges of our time with passion, commitment and innovation.

Thursday 18 November also marked the final stop on the Zero Carbon Tour, UK’s first "Carbon Battle Bus" that has travelled across the country, helping to ensure that widespread net-zero carbon commitments are rolled out alongside robust and credible plans for organisations of all sizes. 

At the awards evening, guests heard from Planet Mark Founder and CEO Steve Malkin, as well as from Jon Geldart, Director General at the Institute of Directors and Clare Shine, Director and CEO of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.
