These awards celebrate Yukon's commitment to sustainability and recognize businesses that are leading the charge toward a greener economy with a dedication to Indigenous reconciliation and collaboration.

Following the successful inaugural ECO IMPACT 2024 last February, which saw a remarkable turnout and enthusiastic participation, the Yukon Sustainability Awards have established themselves as a cornerstone in promoting sustainable business practices within the territory.

In 2024, the awards drew nominations from diverse sectors across the Yukon, highlighting the territory's commitment to integrating sustainability into everyday business operations. Attendees of the awards ceremony included key stakeholders from both government and industry, all united in their mission to foster a sustainable future.

The deadline for nominations this year is December 15, 2024. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to submit their applications, showcasing their sustainable practices and contributions to the environment, community, and economy. The awards categories are as follows:

• Yukon Small Business Sustainability Award: For organizations with up to 10 full-time employees.

• Yukon Medium to Large Business Sustainability Award: For organizations with 10 or more full-time employees.

• Yukon Regional Business Sustainability Award: Open to organizations of any size, based outside of Whitehorse.

"Building on the success of last year’s event, ECO Canada remains committed to supporting Yukon's vision for a sustainable future. The Yukon Sustainability Awards are an important platform for showcasing the leadership and creativity of businesses that are embracing sustainability in their operations. We look forward to celebrating this year's nominees and continuing our work with the Government of Yukon to inspire positive change across industries."
