    The wait is over - meet the eco-friendly businesses making a difference.

    Sustainability is at the heart of what we do here at Marie Claire UK. From reporting on the brilliant female change-makers tackling climate change head-on, to expert-led guides navigating carbon footprint, ethical fashion brands, and sustainable beauty buys, sharing insight into how to live more sustainably has been one of our core pillars for years.

    That's why we're so proud that it's time to reveal the winners of our second annual Sustainability Awards, a celebration of the brands, organisations, and products that are genuinely implementing change and building a better tomorrow.

    As we all become more eco-conscious, it’s more important than ever to recognise and celebrate the brands that are acknowledging their environmental and ethical responsibilities – and helping us as consumers to shop smarter and buy better.

    Meet the Marie Claire UK Sustainability Awards winners 2022

    To help you start making the small day-to-day decisions that’ll have a lasting impact on our planet, we tasked a trailblazing judging panel, made up of over 50 of the world’s leading experts, thought leaders, and sustainability activists, to select the businesses that are actually committed to effecting change.

    An insight into last year's awards...

    Never one to avoid practicing what we preach – or shy away from making history – not only was last year Marie Claire UK’s inaugural Sustainability Awards, it was also our first-ever carbon-neutral awards ceremony. (Yes, even virtual awards generate a carbon footprint.) 

    So, in partnership with Nula Carbon, we offset our carbon emissions by planting a mangrove tree for every one of our attendees.

    See who won in 2021 and watch some of our past judges here:

    Ready to celebrate the editor – and expert-approved – brands going that extra mile in working towards a more sustainable future for our planet? So are we – because we truly believe that we can all #StartSomewhere by making better individual choices that can kick-start meaningful, collective change.
