Introducing the Sustainable Business Award category at the Dental Industry Awards, recognising sustainability champions in dentistry.
With the highly anticipated Dental Industry Awards set to return for its 10th anniversary in 2024, FMC is delighted to announce the launch of a new Sustainable Business Award. With patients and practices more dedicated to reducing their environmental impact than ever, recognising companies who are making dentistry a greener industry is paramount.
Though the existing Corporate Social Responsibility category is a fantastic opportunity for companies to demonstrate how they give back to the community, FMC believes that the issue of environmental impact in the dental industry deserves a distinct award.
What makes a sustainable company?
If your company has taken steps to evaluate its environmental footprint, FMC would love to receive your entry. Why is sustainability important to you? What are your sustainability goals and how have you worked to achieve them? How have you engaged your staff and customers on the issue of sustainability? These are the questions that a successful entry will answer.
Some specific areas of focus that our judges are interested in include:
- Reduction of single-use materials
- Carbon emissions and energy use
- Encouragement of biodiversity.
They also want to hear how these sustainable practices have been integrated into your business. This includes everything from the changes you have made to your premises to how you’re empowering your team and delegating eco-conscious tasks.
