During Thursday's ceremony, the winner will be presented with a £1000 cheque and a Sustainability Leaders Awards trophy by Neil Pennell and IEMA’s CEO Tim Balcon. They will also benefit from one year’s free IEMA Graduate membership, as will the two runners up.

The winner and runners-up will be revealed at here at IEMA News and on Twitter @iemanet on Thursday evening, with further details in the December issue of ‘the environmentalist’
