London Eco Champion Awards
2025
What are the London Eco Champion Awards ?
The award recognises eco champions, from young children to adults and organisations, in our community who go above and beyond to protect our environment.
Across London, community leaders and conscious businesses are making bold moves—together building a city powered by grassroots innovation and enterprise accountability.
This is an award that sees how a community gardening project and a pioneering SME’s net zero policy are part of the same story. We seek to recognise eco-champions of all ages and backgrounds.
With bespoke trophies and a suite of amazing prizes to be won – plus, it’s free to enter.
The London Eco Champion Awards bridges generations, sectors, and scales of action.
From guerilla gardening to circular business models, we spotlight those showing how any initiative – whether driven by students or startups – can ripple out to create systemic change.
The London Eco Champion Awards are not just an award, but a platform for change.
Winners receive recognition backed by extensive media coverage – including last year’s finalists being featured in an upcoming global Amazon Prime documentary.
Past winners have inspired policy, shaped conversations, and connected with communities and companies united by impact.
