This is Ever-So-Lean Extra, where we serve up an extra dose of excellence!
In Season 1, we're immersing ourselves in the prestigious UK Excellence Awards, an event that epitomises innovation, quality and sheer excellence on a national scale. Imagine a platform where industry leaders, influencers, and visionaries converge to celebrate the pinnacle of achievement in business.
We're rolling up our sleeves and diving headfirst into each award category. From the judges who meticulously study every submission to the sponsors who lend their support, from the finalists who embody excellence to the winners who stand triumphant—we'll hear from them all!
In this special episode, we delve into the UK Excellence Awards' category of Excellence in Environmental Sustainability. This category aims to reward those committed to the future of our world by considering natural resources, as well as social and economic reserves. If you’ve made changes to your people, processes, systems, or products to create a culture of sustainability by involving and engaging everyone, this is the award for you!
I am thrilled to introduce Bryony Roberts from Pragmatic Consultancy, one of the judges for the Environmental and Sustainability category. Pragmatic Consultancy, also the sponsor of this award in 2023, will continue their sponsorship in 2025, which is fantastic news! Bryony will take us behind the scenes to reveal what the judging panel looks for in excellence in sustainability.
Additionally, we'll hear from Tim Sismey and Paul Roach from National Express, finalists in 2023, who will share their inspiring journey. Last but not least, we'll meet our 2023 winners, Vanesa Kelly from HVS. Vanesa will give us an inside look at their winning entry and share insights on what makes a successful submission.
Introduced in 2023 as 'Excellence in Environmental Sustainability', this award has now evolved to 'Excellence in Sustainability' for 2025, broadening its scope to recognize even more outstanding efforts.
