The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) Sustainable Future Awards return for the second year to celebrate pioneering individuals and organisations from around the world who are actively shaping practices towards sustainability.

The awards highlight initiatives and projects that drive the shift towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient society, with a particular focus on four key categories:

1. Circular Economy
2. Inclusive Practices & Social Responsibility
3. Sustainable Materials Innovation for Net-zero
4. Sustainable Natural Resource Management

Entries are welcome from both teams and individuals who demonstrate innovation in sustainability, equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), and the advancement of circular practices.

The deadline for submissions is 1 May 2024, with finalists expected to be announced in September ahead of the awards ceremony, which will take place in November this year.
