The Future Icon Awards 2026 took place last week, and we were delighted to be involved as both the event’s sustainability partner and as judges. It was an inspiring day that brought together leaders from across a wide range of industries, all demonstrating innovation, purpose and positive impact.

Congratulations to all the truly deserving winners. The awards recognised businesses and individuals who are pushing sustainability forward in real, meaningful ways, showing that when things are done with purpose, we can shape a brighter future.

It was also a joy and a privilege to listen to author and sustainability expert John Elkington in conversation with Lucy Cleland. As the creator of the Triple Bottom Line concept - the idea that businesses should measure success through people, planet and profit - his insights were a brilliant reminder of how far the movement has come and where it must go next.

A huge thank you to Lucy Cleland and the Country & Town House team for hosting a brilliant event and for celebrating the people and companies driving genuine, positive change.
