Judging criteria

In considering entries the judges will be consider the following factors:

• Timescale: This award will consider primarily achievements in the year of the award and the previous year. Some weight may be given to nominees, which have built up a considerable body of achievement in previous years too.
• Suitability: The ‘fit’ with the above criteria for this award category and adherence to the awards guidelines.
• Excellence: The quality of the company’s business model. Innovative approaches and management practices.
• Achievement: the Company’s success in growing its business, opening up new market areas and expanding the UK renewables sector.
• Dedication: The extent to which the company’s success goes beyond achieving a return for its shareholders and represents exceptional efforts ‘above and beyond the call of duty’ or job requirements of those involved.
• Award-worthiness: The extent to which this will act as an inspiration to others. Does this entry have the exceptional qualities that should be recognised with the prestige of an award?

The judges may give secondary consideration to balance, to encourage e.g. organisations that have not previously won awards, all sectors and regions of the renewable energy industry, entrants of varying sizes and stages of development.
