Organisers of the annual Footprint Awards are looking for entries for the 2013, with a deadline of March 29 for nominations.

A spokesman said: “The Footprint Awards represent the annual celebration of the work that organisations in the foodservice industry and supply chain are doing to in some way redress the balance for the benefit of themselves, their community and the industry at large.

“It is a celebration of initiative and innovation, of commercial imagination and endeavour.

“Sustainability has moved on. From being the trendy buzz word it is now accepted as a clear business principle; in some cases one that is embedded in the very culture of an organisation.

“The issue remains the same - finite resources, diminishing in the face of an expanding population. Food and water security, energy and climate are just some of the concerns amongst its many environmental, social and economic facets; each one with an eye to the future at its heart, aimed at ensuring that, whatever the resource, there is enough for all forever.

“Don’t miss out and make sure that your hard work is recognised.”

Entries are submitted entirely online; categories, criteria and more information can be found at www.footprint-awards.com.

The Footprint Awards dinner will take place on May 23rd at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London. For further information about the event e-mail contact events@footprint-forum.com.
