Women in Ethical Business

The search is on for the most inspiring, female-led ethical business in the UK. Triodos Bank has joined forces with Eve magazine to launch the inaugural Women in Ethical Business Awards (WEBA)

The awards aim to celebrate the women behind some of the most inspiring, ethical businesses in the UK. The WEBA winner will be an entrepreneur bringing ethical lifestyle choices into the mainstream - using business to make the world a better place. As well as wider recognition for their work, they will receive a specially tailored £2,500 business support package, providing practical help to move their business forward.

“Women are driving some of the UK’s most exciting ethical businesses, and the Women in Ethical Business Awards offers a welcome opportunity to celebrate their achievements,” said WEBA judge Penny Newman, CEO of fairtrade pioneers Cafédirect. “The Awards will be an inspiration for ethical entrepreneurs of the future, as well as a boost for today’s ethical business leaders.”

Penny Newman is one of a high-profile panel of judges, including PR guru Lynne Franks, The Day Chocolate Company Managing Director, Sophi Tranchell, and Sue Cooper, Senior Loan Manager at Triodos Bank. Nominations closed 31st January 2007. The WEBA winner will be announced in a special awards ceremony in the Spring of 2006.
