The 2020 Sustainability Awards shortlist has been announced and this year, there have been quite a few very pleasant surprises.
Now that the shortlisted entries have been picked by the judging panel, it’s official: the 2020 Sustainability Awards are bigger and better this year than they have ever been. That much has been made loud and clear, as this year, despite all the turmoil around us, the awards have had an amazing response – some 85 finalists that equated to an almost 40 percent increase in final entries. To this can be added an all-time high number of original entries, with over 250 entries submitted by the official cut-off date in August.
