Pro Landscaper has revealed the shortlist for its Sustainability & Biodiversity Awards, in association with Kress.

More than 40 companies and projects have been shortlisted for the awards, across 12 categories, celebrating the environmental innovation showcased in the landscaping sector. 

“These awards were launched to recognise and reward the landscaping industry’s most sustainable companies and projects to help us demonstrate and showcase leadership within our industry,” says Eljays44’s divisional director, David Griffiths.

“Landscaping and green spaces are a big solution to managing climate change and we have witnessed and reported on some great initiatives in Pro Landscaper. Despite this being the inaugural year of the awards, it was no surprise that we have been overwhelmed by the number and quality of entries.

“It’s going to be incredibly hard for our great panel of judges.”
