By showcasing sustainable energy trailblazers and advocating for the sector as a whole, we can progress towards our ambition: a world where everyone has access to affordable, clean energy.

Our annual Awards Ceremony is the highlight of our year – but our work goes far beyond our awards. We push for the changes needed to roll out sustainable energy solutions to those who need them most, and drive our winners forward.

Helping our winners grow

Working with expert partners, we offer our winners a package of support to help them expand. This is tailored to each winner and ranges from mentoring, business and technical guidance to introductions to finance. We also help broker partnerships between winners, so they can increase their impact.

Sharing best practice

We provide ways for our Award winners to share their expertise, encouraging others to follow their lead. These include our flagship LESS CO₂ mentoring programme for schools in the UK, our support to the Ashden India Renewable Energy Collective, as well as conferences and other events. Our online resources section also offers a wealth of detailed information about sustainable energy technologies, as well as inspiring videos and photos.

Influencing policy

To move closer towards our low-carbon vision we need tangible, powerful examples to inspire others to act. We champion our winners’ solutions through events, publicity, research and engagement in policy consultations, and we work with our winners to help them better understand how to influence energy policy.
