The All-Ireland Sustainability Awards are back for 2024 and with a host of new partners and innovative initiatives, this year's event is set to be more inspiring than ever.
The event will be held on 24 October at the La Mon Hotel & Country Club in Belfast, where top achievements in sustainable innovation will be celebrated.
All-Ireland Sustainability is excited to announce that Climeaction, a Cork-based consultancy known for its advanced carbon reduction and environmental performance solutions, will headline the 2024 awards as the main sponsor. As Climeaction expands its reach into the United States, it continues to lead green initiatives across Ireland.
Paul Murphy, CEO of Climeaction, commented: "We are delighted to partner with the All-Ireland Sustainability Awards in recognising the critical role businesses play in driving sustainable growth. It’s an honour to celebrate those paving the way for a better future."
Entry to the awards is completely free, and applicants can enter as many projects as they wish across multiple categories, offering businesses and individuals a fantastic opportunity to showcase their sustainability efforts and gain recognition on a prestigious platform.
In 2024, we're excited to introduce several new features, including a stunning new ceramic trophy designed by Babs Belshaw of The Blackheath Pottery in Coleraine. Additionally, the new 'Green Legacy Award' will be presented to individuals who have made a substantial impact on sustainability in Ireland through leadership in advocacy, policy, education or innovation.
In addition, the event welcomes its charity partner, Visit Belfast to head up this year’s charity raffle in their locally led initiative, ‘Changing The Menu. For Good’. This initiative works to raise funds for those experiencing fuel poverty, with all money raised at the gala event donated to The Trussell Trust to help support locally vulnerable people and communities, challenge the structural issues that lock people in poverty, and campaign for change to end the need for food banks.
Danielle McCormick, Founder of the All-Ireland Sustainability Awards, said: "We have a lot to shout about and celebrate in 2024 as the sustainability agenda continues to accelerate and evolve across the Island. I am absolutely delighted to welcome our new headliner, Climeaction, and all of our fantastic event partners in celebrating those who integrate sustainability into their core values, and to recognising those who have made long-standing contributions to sustainability in Ireland in our new Green Legacy Award."
With 15 categories including 'Tech for Good', Sustainable Tourism, Green Marketing, and Net-Zero Initiatives, there are numerous opportunities to highlight projects across the sustainability spectrum. Supported by NIE Networks, Danske Bank, Everun, AD Sustainability, Adler & Allan, Visit Belfast and media partner U105, the awards are set to be a standout event in the sustainability calendar.
The deadline for entries is 1pm on September 6, 2024.
