BCE Environmental Leadership Awards

Founded by Sir Peter Parker in 1975, the Business Commitment to the Environment (BCE) Environmental Leadership Awards scheme is the longest running, and one of the most prestigious, environmental award schemes in the UK.

The BCE Awards are sponsored by businesses for business, and are given to companies that the judges recognise as meeting the commercial demands of the present, without compromising the environment for future generations.

The BCE Awards aim to provide a unique opportunity for any business to demonstrate clearly that corporate responsibility is an integral part of their organisation, they are innovative and are ahead of the competition.

Managed and administered by UK business, the BCE Awards truly recognise the importance of environmental excellence, innovation and leadership in an age where, increasingly, running with the pack simply is not enough.

Entry is free of charge - so the BCE Awards are among the easiest to enter but, by stark contrast, the hardest to win. Only those projects that meet the judges' demanding criteria succeed.

Winning such a tough contest can be an incredible boost for an organisation, both internally, for the staff, and externally, with customers and the wider business community. The BCE Environmental Leadership Awards are indeed a high-profile accolade.

WRAP is the lead sponsor of the 2012 BCE Awards:

BCE Award winners are eligible to be considered for entry into the biennial European Business Awards for the Environment (EBAE). 2008 Major commendation winner Foodvest UK - (Young's Seafood & The Seafood Company) went on to win the EBAE Managment Award. BCE is delighted to have received RSA accreditation for its environmental award scheme. Gaining accreditation provides sponsors and entrants alike with meaningful measures of the real quality of the BCE Awards, and confirms the importance and relevance of this prestigious scheme to UK industry.
