This year the fifth Green Awards for Excellence in Communicating Sustainability go global. This coincides with the United Nations Environment Programme's International Year of Biodiversity.

These unique Awards, accredited by the Royal Society of Art, recognise creativity internationally that communicates the importance of corporate and social responsibility, sustainable development and ethical best practice in any sector.

The Awards illustrate the crucial role that needs to be played by green marketing and sustainability communications in informing people about green issues, products and lifestyle choices, and aim to showcase examples of excellence and best practice.

Sponsorship offers

  •  visibility for the sponsor's products and services to the Green Awards opt-in database and through National Geographic, Green.TV, Twitter, MySpace and Facebook

  •  competitive advantage for the sponsor in showing thought leadership in their sector

  •  a positive image for the sponsor's company to all their stakeholders

  •  encourages staff, customers and suppliers to feel confident about the sponsor's support for sustainable initiatives.

"We need your support!", say the organisers. "As a valued sponsor, you will receive global coverage through our media partners, such as National Geographic magazine, and the opportunity to stream your own corporate video broadcast. Your company branding will appear before, during and after the event, in pre-event advertisements supported by our media partners, in the Awards programme and on the Green Awards website.

"Sponsor logos will also be shown during the awards ceremony. There are nineteen sponsorship opportunities, including Principal, Associate and all the award categories".

"The Green Awards are a great showcase for companies and organisations that are leading the way on sustainability", Dominic Burch, Head of Corporate PR, ASDA. "Making your voice heard and having an impact in the increasingly crowded and sometimes fatigue-laden world of environmental marketing requires persistence, creativity and the ability to take risks. Without it, I fear messages key to our very survival will not be noticed", Satinder Bindra, Director of Communications, United Nations Environment Programme, Kenya.
