Global Good Awards

A big 'hello' and a massive 'thank you' to our latest sponsor, Reborn Products 👋 Former winners of the Circular Economy category in the 2023 GGA's, they are now proud sponsors of our Waste Reduction & Minimisation award. Reborn are innovators and leaders when it comes to recycling and repurposing of mattresses; they've salvaged a whopping 10 million kg of material since 2021! Their commitment is to ensure that 100% of the mattresses they receive avoid landfill; instead, they are recycled to produce everything from new mattresses, to pillows, and even pet beds. GGA founder , Karen Sutton, can vouch for the comfort of their camping mattresses, having caught some zzz's on one on a recent trip 😁 We do still have some sponsorship opportunities available, so please do get in touch if this is of interest >> https://lnkd.in/dyNzE9Ta

If you're in a role or organisation that regularly looks to raise funds from external sources - maybe you're a charity, or perhaps a social enterprise running different projects - then this is an excellent piece by one of our GGA friends, Trewin Restorick, on how to process your thoughts when a funder says 'no'. Trewin has mountains of experience in the field of fundraising, having founded Hubbub (who have won multiple Global Good Awards over the years!), PaperRound (now Recorra), and Global Action Plan. He now heads up Sizzle Innovation where, in his own words, 'daring and bold organisations can explore fresh solutions that tackle environmental and social challenges.' Have a read, and take heart that initial disappointment can almost always be reframed >> https://lnkd.in/gCWR6qP3

This looks like a fab resource from GGA sponsors EcoOnline Global! Do subscribe! In The Situation Room (SM), they’ll provide an overview of key climate-driven hazards and explore how businesses prepare and respond. Learning from industry experts, SM will deliver real-world examples and challenges of how they keep their workers and communities safe while minimizing disruptions and local environmental impacts.

As an awards body, we don't just look to celebrate others doing great things; we want to ensure we're doing what we can to 'walk the talk' too. One of the ways we do this is by supporting the amazing work of Cool Earth: - we donate 1% of all turnover from sponsorship, entry fees and ticket sales, - we give a £5 donation per paid entry via their clever CarbonCork initiative - we help to protect rainforest canopies via their carbon capture projects, to match the emissions from our event that we aren’t able to remove. We're delighted that we can play this small part in helping Cool Earth to work with communities from the Amazon to Papua New Guinea in finding creative solutions to rainforest protection - solutions that reduce deforestation rates by up to 82%. In the Amazon, where illegal mining threatens lives and nature, a community has started sustainable fish farming. This project is not only providing food but also offering an economic alternative to practices that destroy rainforest. It shows how supporting local ideas can address global challenges. Meanwhile, in Papua New Guinea, a water and sanitation project is having rainforest-saving benefits. Health centres are seeing fewer patients, showing how basic improvements can have a big impact on people's health and the environment. You can read all the updates here (and THANK YOU, Cool Earth, for everything you're doing 💚 ) >> https://lnkd.in/giaiC-Qt

While many of us so called 'grown ups' continue trying to make the world a better place, we're also acutely aware of the next generation of leaders-in-waiting who are already making an impact around environmental and social issues that matter to them. At the Global Good Awards, we've had the pleasure of working in partnership with Canon for the last five years, on the Young Champion category, open to changemakers aged between 17-25. As our judges pored over the entries, it became very clear, very quickly, that they had quite a job on their hands to come up with a shortlist! We're delighted that we now have ten finalists - five in each age group category - who will be eagerly waiting to hear if they've made the top spot when we hold our awards ceremony in October. Find out who they are, and why they've made the shortlist by clicking here >> https://lnkd.in/eYwP-axG   You can also read up on how some of our previous winners have been continuing their efforts since receiving their award here >> https://lnkd.in/eVjn8K4U

With the finalists announced and our 2024 programme over halfway through, this is the time to grab a sponsorship bargain and join our other purpose-led sponsors. We’re offering sponsorship packages for categories, drink’s reception, headline and a special SME and Start-up partner opportunity… starting from as little as £1,995 + VAT!   We build genuine, sustainable relationships with our sponsors, and we think carefully before inviting a company to work with us – they must be able to demonstrate their purpose-driven sustainability and good governance, as they will be sharing the limelight with ‘Global Good’ – not only on the event days, but throughout our whole communications cycle.   Don’t take our word for it… this is what Canon have to say about working with us: “Working with the Global Good Awards team, has been a pleasure. The passion, dedication and sheer single-minded, purpose-driven approach of the team has been exemplary. We have now been partnering for five years and each year we have grown both the reach and depth of our collaboration – reaching more young people with great ideas, in more places around the world.” Adam Pensotti | Head of Young People Programme, Canon EMEA   So, is that your organisation?

After a brilliant day of scrutiny, by our even more brilliant judges, we're excited to announce the 2024 Global Good Awards finalists! We're incredibly proud of our judging process, which ensures that only the very best initiatives, companies, and organisations are selected for the shortlist - every single judge is a true expert in their field, and is laser focused on rewarding real action rather than aims. So, this list really does reflect the best of the best, and we can't wait to reveal the winners in October!
