Brought to you by Environment Analyst's Brownfield & Regeneration Network, the Brownfield Awards bring the brownfield community together to recognise the outstanding achievements made by individuals and organisations, through the use of innovative techniques, awareness of sustainability, engagement of stakeholders and demonstration of best practice.
This year's 17th annual Brownfield Awards took place on 14 October 2021 and celebrated excellence across a range of categories in the brownfield and contaminated land sector.
Next year’s Awards ceremony will be returning to London on 13 October 2022 and we can’t wait to celebrate with you in-person.
