Organised by Enterprise Nation
At Enterprise Nation, we love to champion small businesses across the nation that are consciously making an effort to be sustainable.
About this event
Back in June, we and our partners Aviva and TSB launched the Sustainable Small Business Awards to celebrate what these businesses are achieving.
The awards form part of Plan it with Purpose, a programme that helps owners of small and medium-sized businesses better understand environmental and social issues in the UK. We're on the hunt to find those small businesses that are making a difference.
With that in mind, we’re delighted to hold this awards event, where we’ll hear from keynote speaker Amanda Mackenzie OBE. Amanda is CEO of Business in the Community and will talk about ways to overcome challenges in business.
Later, we’ll announce the winners of the Sustainable Small Business Awards 2022. We’ve had a huge number of entries and the quality for each of the five awards categories has been exceptional.
