BETA International is thrilled to share that sustainability expert, White Griffin, is sponsoring the Sustainability Awards at the show for the second year running, highlighting a continuing commitment to supporting the industry in making more sustainable choices.
The Sustainability Awards launched at the 2025 show and celebrated sustainable products and sustainable businesses through two separate awards. The Sustainable Product Award showcases products that are designed to address an environmental issue or have adapted to be environmentally sustainable, whereas the Sustainable Business Award celebrates those who have embedded sustainability into everything they do.
“It is imperative that every company moves towards a more sustainable way of manufacturing and packaging their products in order for us to create a healthy and happy future,” said Ruth Dancer, Founder of White Griffin. “Therefore, we believe it is so important to recognise those that are already doing this, both to reward them for their efforts and showcase what is possible to everyone else. The things we buy have a huge impact on the environment, contributing to half of global greenhouse gas emissions and 90% of water use, and nature loss. So, we need to think very carefully about what we buy and how those things are produced. We know that it is possible to produce and consume responsibly and we want to showcase the great companies who are doing just that.”
Last year’s winners were Charles Owen (Sustainable Business) and SealStop (Sustainable Product).
“We’re really pleased to have White Griffin join us as sponsor again, and we’re also very excited to have Ruth speak at the Seminar Theatre as part of our programme,” said Liz Ormesher, Event Director. “Sustainability is vital for us all, in our businesses and daily lives, and what this award highlights is that sustainability and excellence can work hand in hand, so the consumer wins as well as the environment. As a company, Raccoon Media Group has sustainability running through its core, so being able to celebrate, promote, and support sustainability in this way is perfect.”
