On the evening of Thursday October 24th, the Planet Mark team hosted our Members, Partners and wider community to recognise their dedication to reducing carbon emissions with passion, commitment and innovation over the last 12 months. Held in partnership with Apax, Edmundson Electrical Ltd, GLP and Prologis, the Planet Mark Awards honour the exceptional accomplishments and innovative sustainability projects from our diverse and expanding membership.
This was our seventh year of celebrating the most incredible people and companies in our network. Hosted by our CEO and Founder, Steve Malkin at the Shaw Theatre, London St Pancras, the Awards shone a spotlight on achievements from across our Planet Mark community and demonstrated how net zero is not only good for the planet but good for business, too.
With over 400 Planet Mark Members and Partners in attendance, the evening provided a fantastic opportunity for networking and sharing insights with those passionate about reducing emissions and achieving net zero. It is always truly inspiring to gather in person and witness such incredible progress and commitment by our Members.
This year’s finalists embodied the determination, focus, and innovation needed in the fight against the climate crisis. Over the past 12 months, their actions have exceeded the certification demands and demonstrated what is possible.
Planet Mark would like to give a huge thank you to all our valued Members, Partners and the Planet Mark team – we know how tirelessly everyone is working toward achieving net zero. Your collective commitment to sustainability and passion to measure, engage and communicate with employees, supply chain and wider communities take us one step further to empowering zero. We are already looking forward to seeing the progress our Members make in the 2025 Awards.
