Stone Circle Livery was very pleased to hear that we are a finalist in the Green Business Awards run by Management Today. The Green Business Awards highlight and reward leadership on environment, sustainability and climate change by British companies. The Green Business Awards will be a barometer of the newest, most innovative, most ambitious and most effective initiatives by UK business to respond to the pressing challenges of global sustainability.
All major business sectors will be represented and the 2008 awards will highlight this year's best efforts and achievements in each.
Haymarket's leading title for senior business managers, Management Today, and Haymarket's specialist environmental publishing unit, ENDS, have worked together to devise the nature of the Awards, the categories and criteria, and assembled the judging panel, under the important chairmanship of Professor John Chesshire, and defined the judging process.
The awards take place on the 5th November 2008 at Grosvenor House, London.
This is what the judges are looking for:
The judges are looking for a number of key factors when assessing the quality of entries to the Green Business Awards. First they are looking for originality. The case being offered should be new and refreshing. Either the idea or the way in which it has been applied or executed must be new. The entrant must show that they have approached the policy or initiative in a rigorous manner.
They should have planned and executed it to ensure it has the greatest impact on their green record and is as sustainable as possible. Whilst this may not always be possible or relevant to the entry, the judges are assessing whether new ideas will be replicated by others and therefore have a wider impact on business and society.
1) Originality/innovation
2) Evidence of benefits, which must include specific environmental benefits
3) Evidence of continuity (long-term benefits)
4) Evidence of replicability (can others learn from entrants' example)
5) Involvement of internal and external stakeholders
6) Obstacles overcome
7) Relationship to legal requirements
8) Quality of entry application
Stone Circle Livery is a finalist in the 'Best Micro Organisation' category.
