The International Green Awards is the leading platform for sustainability intelligence, leadership and innovation. The awards launched in 2006 to critical acclaim with the objective of recognising the best-in-class examples of sustainability communications and have gone from strength-to-strength since then. In 2009, the Awards introduced an ‘International’ category, encouraging applications from the world over. The response to this category was overwhelming and thus, in 2010, the Awards opened all categories to global participation and culminated with an international Grand Prix winner – China Environmental Protection Foundation in association with DDB-China. Their inaugural ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ was given to Sir David Attenborough for his lifelong commitment to biodiversity.

In 2011, the awards widened its remit to encompass 360° sustainability projects in business and introduced the ‘Best Green International Celebrity Award’, open to public voting for the first time, was won by Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
