I could not be more excited to share this news with you: The NEW Beauty Shortlist Eco Lifestyle Awards 2021 launch today, Tuesday 20 October 2020.
Created to showcase solution-orientated, planet-positive brands making a real difference, these new global awards embrace numerous diverse sectors such as green home, fashion, eco garden, design, food, packaging and health – and beauty, of course.
Our new ECO LIFESTYLE AWARDS main CHANGE-MAKER BRAND categories will recognise:
Brands that are giving back, for example B Corp or brands who participate in 1% for the Planet
Brands that put plastic reduction/elimination, and forest, water, soil and ocean conservation first and foremost
Brands who are actively introducing eco-packaging solutions and alternatives to Public Enemy No.1 – plastic (especially single-use plastic)
Brands across all sectors using sustainable natural materials like bamboo or hemp (textiles, beauty, natural health, food, paper, biofuel, eco-packaging, etc)
These new Eco Awards are *all* about encouraging consumers to lead a less “single use/throw-away” lifestyle and embrace a simpler, kinder to nature, kinder to the earth way of co-existing so we can all thrive in a healthier, safer, cleaner, more natural environment.
We need to be voting with our wallets – and this means day in, day out – for the sake of this planet and our own future. Because we CAN!

“These new Eco Awards are all about encouraging consumers to lead a much less throw-away lifestyle – choosing planet-friendly, recyclable, zero waste products that help protect our collective home, our planet, instead,” says founder Fiona Klonarides.
The awards will be judged by a select panel of green living experts including:
Katie Hill, founder of sustainable, ethical living magazine My Green Pod (distributed digitally, quarterly, with The Guardian to 6 million eco conscious readers)
Eco lifestyle and zero waste advocate Bryanna Martonis, founder of The Eco Logical.
“As well as showcasing the most planet-positive products of the year across all sectors (not just beauty), the Eco Lifestyle Awards will honour the change-making brands that should be a natural part of our everyday lives, without a second thought.
“When you buy an eco-friendly product, you’re investing in a cleaner, healthier, safer home and planet – it’s the ultimate win-win”.
Founded by beauty and wellbeing journalist Fiona Klonarides and now in their 11th year, the original Beauty Shortlist Awards have championed natural and organic since day one, going global in 2017.
The Awards remain 100% sponsor-free and provide a level, equitable playing field for big household names and indie artisan brands alike.
