UK Green Business Awards 2026: Last chance to enter

Deadline for entries to the UK's most prestigious green business awards falls on Friday 27th February

Businesses, individuals, and projects keen to make the shortlist for the UK Green Business Awards 2026 have just one more day to submit their entries ahead of the official deadline on Friday 27th February.

The finalists will then be announced next month, ahead of the awards dinner and glittering awards ceremony, which will take place during London Climate Action Week on the evening of Wednesday 24th June.

The flagship awards - which are now in the their fourth year and act as the successor to the BusinessGreen Leaders Awards that first launched in 2010 - are expected to bring together over 600 senior figures from across the UK's burgeoning green economy, providing a unique opportunity to network with colleagues and showcase the many achievements of leading green businesses. 

"The UK Green Business Awards are always a wonderful celebration of a green economy that continues to go from strength to strength - and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever," said BusinessGreen editor-in-chief James Murray. "The awards always offer a great opportunity to showcase the many leading businesses, innovative projects, and inspiring individuals who are working to build an economy that is more sustainable and prosperous for all.

"Many of the finalists at the awards over the past decade have gone to on to enjoy remarkable success, underscoring how green business models and clean tech innovations are reshaping the economy, bolstering resilience, and driving commercial returns. We'd urge all companies working to advance the green economy to enter this year's awards and seize the chance to highlight and celebrate the remarkable work they are doing."

Companies and individuals considering submitting an entry to the awards have a wide range of categories to consider, including consultancy of the year, fast track company of the year, ESG investor of the year, innovation of the year, small business of the year, and the coveted company of the year.

Companies, projects, and individuals looking for advice on what makes a strong entry can check out BusinessGreen's recent guide and webinar, where judges offered their tips on what they are looking for in a submission.

This year's UK Green Business Awards are delivered with support from our sponsors Osborne Clarke and Radley Yeldar and partners London Climate Action Week and the Great Big Green Week.
