Now in their 16th year, the 2022 Sustainability Awards are more important than ever.
The last 24 months have provided a window into the future of humanity, with natural disasters, civil unrest, challenging economic forecasts and health crises providing a worrying forecast for the years to come. And yet for some, hope is born from these bleak outlooks, providing an impetus for change that drives them to make a positive mark on the environment they live in.
For examples of this, we look no further than the 2022 Sustainability Awards shortlist, where a selection of 65 people, products and projects are showing us truly outstanding contributions to the sustainable built environment.
Considering the urgency with which we need to respond to our environmental challenge, it is perhaps no surprise that the 2022 Awards received an exceptional calibre of entrants - of which our jury whittled it down to just the 65 featured below. Once again, this shortlist was finalised on our annual live judging day - which was proudly supported by Best of the Best and Carbon Neutral Partner Autex Acoustics.
The jury were set a challenging task in selecting the shortlist for this year, as they looked for entries who were able to ‘marry science and design’ in achieving outstanding sustainable outcomes. Each finalist has, in their own way, contributed to the bettering of Australia’s built environment, finding innovative and considered ways to address sustainability challenges including embodied carbon, circularity, performance, wellbeing and biodiversity.
The winners of the 2022 Sustainability Awards will be announced on Thursday November 10 at the Shangri La, Sydney. The award ceremony will follow a full day conference - The Sustainability Summit - which will bring together over 30 leading names from across the Sustainable built environment to share their knowledge and thought leadership about the challenges, innovations and successes happening across the industry.
