Now more than ever, the planet needs our help. In some corners of the globe, Net Zero plans are being shelved and naysayers are doing their best to derail all the progress that has been made.

But encouragingly, in other areas, sustainability matters more than ever. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 82 per cent of global firms questioned intend to increase investment in sustainability over the next 12-18 months.

Many channel firms are already doing some amazing things to reduce their emissions and hit Net Zero, so why not shout about it?

Below are five reasons why you should enter the Sustainability in Tech Awards:

  1. It is completely free to enter so you have nothing to lose. If you are doing something amazing to reduce your carbon footprint, or even if you have only just started on your journey, it will cost nothing more than a couple of hours of your time to produce an entry and share your success.
  2. Your customers and potential customers will take note. Customers are becoming less willing to work with suppliers that don’t have their own sustainability strategy in place. In some cases, if a supplier has no sustainability-related credentials, they won’t even be considered during a tender process, particularly in the public sector, but increasingly in the private sector too.
  3. It will be a boost for the people who have worked hard to make your sustainability strategy a success. And who doesn’t deserve a boost for their hard work?
  4. You might inspire others to start their journey. If you take home an award, or even if you are shortlisted, your peers may look to see what steps you have been taking and finally decide to start their own sustainability journey.
  5. It might lead to a future partnership that brings even more benefits to your business. Like attracts like, and winning or being shortlisted for a sustainability award might just be the spark that ignites new and exciting collaboration projects.

So don’t delay. With a range of categories to enter that will suit pretty much every company in the channel, get your entry submitted and get ready to celebrate your successes. After all, you have nothing to lose and the planet has everything to gain.

To check out the categories and submit an entry, visit the official Awards website here. The deadline for entry is Friday 7 November.

Good luck!
