Sustainable Mann Awards 2024

UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man recently celebrated 16 exceptional businesses that have been awarded the prestigious Sustainable Mann accreditation. These pioneering companies are setting the benchmark for what it means to operate within a UNESCO Biosphere, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, community support, and economic resilience.

The transition of delivering the workshops this year was smoothly handled by Earthscope Isle of Man, who specialise in climate education. In partnership with the wider community, Earthscope enhanced the delivery of sustainability training and resources to support these forward-thinking businesses.

The Sustainable Mann accreditation highlights businesses that are actively contributing to the Isle of Man’s vision of a thriving, sustainable future. This year's recipients include a diverse range of companies, from financial services to hospitality businesses, each making significant strides towards sustainability:
