Net Zero & Carbon Reduction Award

This award recognises an outstanding, measurable decarbonisation or net-zero initiative executed by an FM professional, team, or organisation over the past 12 months. Unlike Excellence in Sustainability, which covers a broad range of environmental initiatives, this award is specifically for entries with a quantified energy, carbon, or emissions reduction programme. Entry is by a 5-page A4 PDF submission; the judges will be looking for clear information backed up by quantified data that pays particular attention to the criteria listed below.

• Initiative Background: Please provide a background of the net-zero or carbon reduction initiative, including the baseline it was measured against and the target it was working towards.
• Strategy & Implementation: Describe how the initiative was executed, including any technology, process changes, or supply chain engagement involved.
• Quantified Outcomes: Provide year-on-year data demonstrating the reduction achieved in energy use, carbon emissions, or equivalent metrics. Entries without quantified figures will not be considered for this award.
• Challenges: Explain any challenges faced in achieving these results and how they were overcome.
• Supporting Facts and Statements: Please include any other statements or facts that support your entry, including third-party verification or certification where possible.
