Metsä Group’s 2025 Sustainability Awards launched in the UK

Metsä Group has launched its 2025 Sustainability Awards. The company’s biennial Sustainability Awards were founded in partnership with the Cleaning & Services Support Association (CSSA) in 2023 with the aim of shining a spotlight on sustainability across the cleaning and hygiene industry.

In 2023, an awards ceremony was held at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, where participants joined together to celebrate the industry’s commitment to sustainability and to recognize those leading the way in best practice. The entries exceeded expectations, and there are high hopes for the awards in 2025.

The 2025 Sustainability Awards ceremony will be held at The Pelligon in Canary Wharf, London, on 19 March 2025.

Announcing the launch of the Awards, Mika Paljakka, Metsä Tissue’s SVP for UK & Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be hosting the Sustainability Awards for a second time in 2025, in cooperation with the CSSA. The caliber of the nominations for the 2023 awards was inspirational and demonstrated our industry’s commitment to embracing and innovating sustainable practices.”

Nominations for the awards program are now open, and entries are welcome from all organizations from across the cleaning and hygiene industry whose actions have made a positive and lasting impact on the environment.

The categories for the 2025 Sustainability Awards include:

Positive Climate Impact Award
Social Value Impact Award
Best Sustainability Communication Award
Sustainable Collaboration Award
New Sustainable Innovation of the Year
Judges’ Choice – recognizing the best achievements at national and local levels.
Details of the awards and how to enter are available on the 2025 Sustainability Awards website. Nominations are free to enter, and the deadline for entry is 31 August 2024.

Tickets for the 2025 Sustainability Awards Ceremony will also be available to purchase from October 2024. The capacity at the 2025 awards ceremony has been increased from 200 to 400, but in 2023, the event sold out quickly. To avoid missing out, you can pre-register your interest here.
