Meet the 2026 Environment 100!
We are proud to unveil the 2026 Environment 100, a celebration of the individuals who are making an outstanding impact across the UK’s environmental sector.
This year saw more applications than ever before, making the task of selecting our final 100 an especially difficult one for the judges. From pioneering projects and innovative solutions to inspiring leadership and meaningful action, the strength and diversity of this year’s applications have made the 2026 Environment 100 one of our most impressive lists yet.
The 2026 honourees will be officially recognised at ESS Expo on 17 September at the Future Talent Hub, bringing together the people behind some of the most exciting and impactful work taking place across the environmental sector.
