BUSINESSES and individuals that are leading the way towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals have just over a week left to put themselves forward for The Herald’s Global Game Changers Awards 2018.
Run in association with Innovators Magazine and supported by Circular Glasgow, Centre for Work-based Learning, ScottishPower, City of Glasgow College, BAE Systems and Bayer Foundations, the awards recognise and reward innovation and sustainability across all sectors.
Barry Carruthers of ScottishPower said: “It’s an incredibly exciting time when you look at the amount of innovation in the sustainability space – these awards look to recognise the leaders and so will showpiece the best people and projects across the sector.”
Alison McRae of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce added: “With Scotland being selected as host nation for this year’s Circular Economy Hotspot Scotland - a major international event and trade mission - there’s no better time to showcase your business’s progressive approach to developing initiatives that embody the circular economy.”
Douglas Morrison, STEM and Innovation Lead at City of Glasgow College added: “The Global Game Changer Award for intrapreneurship recognises the outstanding work of change makers driving inclusive growth within their companies.
"At City of Glasgow College we are delighted to support this award and seek to encourage entries from those who have embraced the intrapreneurial spirit.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
