Creating Better Futures Awards

The InfraRed Creating Better Futures Awards recognise and celebrate initiatives that align with and positively contribute to our four sustainability thematic priorities: Climate, Environment, Communities and People.

Our awards

The awards are open to all our portfolio businesses and supply chain partners, and have been designed to create a forum through which best practice can be recognised and shared. We are working with these parties to amplify the number, scale, and therefore impact, of delivered initiatives.

2024

In July 2024, we held our Creating Better Futures Awards event, bringing together individuals from different portfolio businesses to celebrate thoughtful sustainability initiatives being implemented across our portfolio.
