The Awards
We are excited to hold the inaugural Sustainability awards in partnership with Surge. The awards highlight the importance of sustainability across spaces and product design with an intention to encourage the entire buying process to be a socially responsible one.
Nominations
Sustainability Awards are independently judged by a panel of diverse individuals who are responsible for decision making and advocates in the industry. The Awards adopt some of the principles from LEED of USGBC and recognize sustainable certifications relevant to this process. The judging criteria is weighted between design and its green credentials, which can be backed by 3rd party certifications.
Product Category Winners
The region’s first Sustainability Awards were announced this year in collaboration with Surge’s at the Design, Dine, Make a Difference 2021 Gala. We could not have been more proud of our entrants and our winners.
