The Sustainability Pioneer Award is open to all Devon based food and drink businesses (Producers, Retail & Hospitality). This award recognises strong and effective sustainable activities being practised by food and drink businesses across the county.

We particularly encourage entrants to consider how they, as businesses, act as a force for good by supporting the three dimensions of sustainability – Environmental, Economic and Social (planet, people and profit).

The award looks for three key things, firstly new initiatives and innovations which a business has put in place to achieve comprehensive benefits to sustainability. Secondly the commitment to sustainability running through the business and thirdly how these initiatives are communicated and shared within and beyond the business in order to inspire others?

We will be looking for cutting-edge ideas which are breaking new ground and inspiring others to follow. An independent adjudicator will verify the results and the overall winner.
