EQM is for everyone
The Environmental Quality Mark is not just for profit-making businesses. We welcome applications from community enterprises or events, as well as public or not-for-profit organisations.
Because the EQM award is not competitive, a wide range of organisations and businesses - large and small - can apply.
Successful award holders include B&Bs, farmers, brewers and soap-makers. Take a look at our existing award holders.
Is your business a good fit for the EQM?
The Environmental Quality Mark is an award presented to a business or organisation that has proved it:
- helps to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the local area
- minimises the local and global environmental impact of its activities, safeguarding and protecting natural resources
- helps customers understand, enjoy and conserve the special qualities of the local area
- plays an active role in the economic and social well-being of both local and global communities
If this sounds like your organisation, we’d love to welcome you to the EQM community. Register today to get started.
