37 Scottish businesses, championing the link between economic success and environmental sustainability, have been shortlisted as finalists for the 2024 VIBES Scottish Environment Business Awards.
From a competitive field of entries, the finalists have been selected across industries ranging from life sciences, transport, food and drink and construction.
A panel of judges, bringing expertise on sustainability and innovation from across the business and public sectors, reviewed entries and selected the finalists for each of the 11 award categories, which includes celebrating small and large businesses, product innovation and inclusivity.
The VIBES – Scottish Environment Business Awards is a partnership between the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), The Scottish Government, Energy Saving Trust, Highland and Islands Enterprise, Scottish Enterprise, South of Scotland Enterprise, Scottish Water, Zero Waste Scotland and NatureScot.
Nicole Paterson, Chief Executive at the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), said:
“For 25 years, the VIBES Scottish Environment Business Awards have showcased the best of Scottish sustainable business and this year we’re excited to see that businesses continue to drive change and deliver environmental excellence.”
In the next stage, judges will interview each finalist, where they will have the opportunity to demonstrate first-hand what they’ve done to deserve recognition from VIBES.
