Greener Awards is a new awards program from the creators of Best in Biz Awards, focused on all issues and things green and related to sustainability, environmental responsibility or climate change.

What sets Greener Awards apart?

Similarly to Best in Biz Awards, Greener Awards will be independent and judged by prominent members of the press. Each year, Greener Awards will assemble a judging panel comprised of high-profile editors and top-notch reporters, both in the CSR/sustainability space, as well as general business, to review and score the award submissions. Having researched and covered countless successful companies, products, and dynamic business personalities in the sustainability space, these judges are best positioned to objectively evaluate the entry pool to determine winners. That said, in a move new to Best in Biz Awards, we might also try to incorporate green influencers and industry thought leaders, to judge a specific category or augment general judging.

Why was Greener Awards founded?

Climate change and the environment are a huge focus and concern for our founding team; we make conscious choices and implement actions in our daily lives to limit our effect on the environment and our contribution to climate change and global warming. Because this is an issue we care about deeply, we wanted to take the proven model of Best in Biz Awards, which combines the unique expertise of the press from across a wide variety of top-tier publications – and apply it to the green space. We believe that unmatched objectivity of the press, combined with the wide variety of publications, seniority levels, industries, specialties, etc. represented on the judging panel, will give Greener Awards its unique edge.

How is Greener Awards independent?

What truly sets Greener Awards apart is that instead of being members of one editorial team of one particular publication, our judges hail from a wide variety of top-tier publications. We believe that structured this way, the panel is even more independent and the scores and eventual results even more objective. Greener Awards takes the inherent objectivity and impartiality of our press judges one step further and does not accept any outside sponsorship or advertising.
