The 35 Under 35 awards programme, supported by Grundon, recognises trailblazers within the environmental sector who are striving for professional excellence, promoting industry innovation and giving back to their company or community.

​

Now in its ninth year, the programme celebrates professionals under the age of 35 who are making a genuine impact - whether through innovation, leadership, or giving back to their industry and communities.

​

Making it onto the 35 Under 35 list offers a springboard for career progression, providing industry-wide recognition while highlighting the passion and dedication of the sector's next generation.

​

The 2026 winners were revealed live at the awards ceremony on Wednesday 16 September at the Future Talent Hub, ESS Expo, NEC Birmingham. The programme will return in 2027 - register your interest below to be the first to know when entries open.
