Sustainability inspiration from the best in the business at the iiE Awards 2024
This year’s event in Peterborough featured a visionary keynote speaker, unmissable networking, and expert-led workshops on biodiversity, business travel, carbon footprinting, and plastic waste.
Sponsored this year by Ecotricity, we came together to recognise the green achievements of businesses and organisations across the membership and beyond.
We had a morning of sustainability-themed workshops where attendees had the opportunity to exchange ideas and quiz environment specialists from Natural England, Wildlife Trust BCN, RECOUP, Ecotricity, and the Energy Saving Trust. This year’s keynote speaker and compere, sustainable business guru Mark Shayler, gave us a fantastic talk on how businesses can save the world.
