With climate responsibility now on the agenda for many businesses, low carbon companies are taking proactive steps to reduce emissions, manage energy more effectively and invest in cleaner, greener solutions.

Over the years, BIBAs finalists have shown a commitment to their cause in shaping a sustainable future for their businesses.

Past winners include Blackpool & The Fylde College, Fox Group and The Senator Group.

Returning as sponsor for this year’s Low Carbon Business of the Year is Sustainable Energy First, an industry leader in energy procurement, risk management, and net zero solutions.

This commitment is not only helping tackle the climate challenge, but also strengthening competitiveness and long‑term resilience.

Supported by government incentives and a growing culture of innovation, Lancashire’s business community continues to raise the bar by demonstrating that environmental leadership and commercial success go hand in hand.

Ben Beetham, Partnerships Manager at Sustainable Energy First, said: “Low carbon practices are now firmly embedded in the way businesses across Lancashire operate and we continue to see organisations of all sizes adopting ambitious, forward‑thinking sustainability initiatives that not only cut carbon but strengthen long‑term value and resilience.

“We’re proud to support this award once again, as it aligns closely with our commitment to sustainable business and our mission to support organisations on their journey to net zero.

“We’re very much looking forward to celebrating their achievements at the awards and recognising the business that will take home the award on the night.”

As the BIBAs continues to celebrate innovation, excellence, and leadership, the Low Carbon category stands as a testament to Lancashire’s ambition to build a more sustainable future, led by the businesses making it happen.
