Sustainability is a critical value in the evolution of Ireland’s food, drink and horticulture industry. The sustainability
award recognises Irish companies who show leadership in promoting the principles of sustainability and
differentiate their product offering through sound environmental criteria. These are companies who have
integrated the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainability into their management practices
and express these principles in innovative product or service offerings. The award will showcase Irish companies
who think outside the box and who motivate and inspire others by their efforts. The judging panel will assess
products for their positive impact on the environment in areas such as reduced carbon emissions, REPS,
minimised waste, reduced water/energy usage, sourcing of ingredients, packaging materials and increasing the
recycling percentage of waste.
Entries are invited for both B2B andB2C applications of food and drink products which enrich our environment.
Entry criteria:
- Show vision and stewardship in environmental and community issues
- Demonstrate a sound basis for claims of sustainability
- Show the revenue growth and/or cost reduction potential of the sustainability initiative
- Highlight market achievements based on sustainability.
