The aim of Cornwall Sustainability Awards is to encourage, reward and gain recognition for some of the excellent work businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are doing to improve their own sustainability and that of Cornwall as a whole.

Is your business working to minimise negative impacts on the environment whilst maximising the benefits to society? If so, you could be a winner!

The 2014 awards were launched at the Cornwall Business Fair on 14th May by Dr Alan Knight OBE.
