Celebrating inclusive, inspiring climate solutions
The Ashden Awards are all about impact – supporting climate innovators to build a fair and sustainable future. Our winners bring clean energy to refugee camps, make homes in UK warm and energy efficient, and protect our rivers and forests.
To achieve our goals we are working with fellow members of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trust on a common diversity, equity and inclusion policy. In recent years we have taken practical steps such as improving the diversity of our board and awards judging panels, and introducing inclusive recruitment measures. But there is much more to do – so we pledge to continue investing in action, and to monitoring and sharing the results of our efforts.
The winners are driven by epic climate ambition and the search for climate justice. They’re lowering emissions and building a fairer world, with smart, inclusive solutions for the UK and Global South. Leading the way to a future where green businesses thrive, nature flourishes, and communities own and enjoy the benefits of climate action.
The annual Ashden Awards boost outstanding, inclusive climate innovation. Panels of expert judges have a key role in the process – examining the entries, interviewing the people behind them, and debating who should be honoured with a prize.
We’d like to thank the fantastic judges helping us this year. They include academics, investors, experts from civil society, journalists, business leaders, and many others. You can see a full list at the bottom of this post.
We’ve helped past winners and finalists earn investment and global media coverage, and connect with policymakers, partners and funders. The Ashden Awards are free to enter, and offer a cash prize of up to £25,000. We’re proud to create opportunities for our innovators years after their award win, through the Ashden network.
Entries for this year’s awards are now closed, but you can already register your interest for our 2024 prizes.
Our policy work creates opportunities for proven climate solutions, including those discovered through our awards, to thrive. Insights gathered through the awards give us a unique and valuable perspective on tackling the biggest climate challenges.
