WELL OBSERVED – The Observer Ethical Awards, 2011


Last night we were invited to celebrate the winners (and non-winners) of the Observer's annual awards for the people, places and businesses that have taken the lead in either bringing awareness to green or humanitarian issues or implemented far reaching green, ethical and innovative practices as part of their business models.

Now in its sixth year the awards have become a standard by which businesses market their credentials to their consumers.  Businesses competing to ‘out-green’ each other to capture a larger market share?  That’s the kind of Capitalism that makes all of us at Recognise smile from ear to ear.  Of course, we didn’t mind rubbing shoulders with all the celebrities who attended the ceremony either.  It shows that green and ethical issues are not just for the campaigners; it’s now for the fashionable and the mainstream too.

Stacey Dooley
Rob Da Bank

Congratulations to John Mulholland, Lucy Siegle, the whole Observer team and all the winners for another successful event.  See you next year!!
