This award is open to any ICT, Media, or Telecommunications company in Ireland who can demonstrate a bottom-up best environmental practice in all aspects of running their business. This may be through the development of “green” products, the incorporation of sustainable methods into their operations, or through encouraging consumers, staff and other firms to embrace sustainability. You must explain what you have achieved so far, particularly over the last 12 months, and what you hope to achieve in the future. And we need to see evidence of an overall strategy that sets out your targets and how you plan to achieve them and hard statistics demonstrating year-on-year comparisons. Entry is by a 5-page A4 PDF submission; the judges will be looking for a clear plan and evidence that it is delivering on core objectives, paying particular attention to the criteria listed below.
