These CEO Monthly Awards celebrate the extraordinary achievements of the World’s Most Influential CEOs, and we’re sure you’ll agree Alan’s passion and drive are unmatched in integrating sustainability into every business around the world.

As a team, we’ve also had the honour to judge the 59club ’s first ever sustainability award as part of their recent Annual Service Awards. The competition was fierce, so well done to The Company Club, who received the UK Award, and Dubai Hills Golf Club, who took the Dubai Award.

It was great to see so many businesses in the running for these awards, proud of their commitment to sustainability and the future.

Why not offer subsidised public transport, or designated parking for those who carpool? There are also some great ‘bike to work’ schemes, which have a whole range of benefits for your team and the environment…
