Hide AdChief executive Dr Graham Cooley said: “South Yorkshire is fast becoming a global hub for the manufacture of technologies and components that are vital in the race to net zero.
“We are also surrounded by initiatives large and small which are lowering emissions and improving air quality across the region.
“It is vital we discuss, celebrate and catalyse the growth of these important advances in society.”
The awards are a ‘fantastic opportunity’ to celebrate the achievements of businesses as ‘real momentum’ builds on the journey to reducing their environmental impact. They might also inspire others to embrace the challenge.
