The Award for Sustainability recognises a company that demonstrates leadership in building sustainable practices into its own business, being both Environmentally Aware and Environmentally Responsible. The application needs to clearly outline the company’s environmental management system, how it is managed, funded and its impact on energy consumption and/or the environment – for example, across transport, energy, water saving, staff involvement training and/or community support.

Where energy/environmental efficiency projects or installation of new equipment has taken place, businesses will need to demonstrate innovation and measurable results. They also need to show how sustainability has resulted in an improved competitive advantage and become a differentiator for their company. ( Note that this award is for companies’ own environmental / sustainability activities, not those they may have undertaken for clients).

The companies shortlisted for the SFA Awards 2025 in the Sustainability category are:

Drumhierny Woodland Hideaway
Hygeia
Oriel Marine Extracts
Re-Cycle Bikes
Velo Coffee Roasters
Active Tribe

The winner for the Sustainability category will be announced on Wednesday, 26 March at the Awards Gala, where they'll receive their Award trophy and an one year free membership of the Small Firms Association. Best of luck to all Finalists!

Be contacted in September, when applications open for 2026
