SustainPHL: Philadelphia’s First City-Wide Sustainability Celebration

Imagine an event that will celebrate the stories of those who have made a positive impact on Philadelphia’s environment. We’re proud to announce:

SustainPHL

We’re hosting the first ever SustainPHL Awards, a celebration ranging from sustainability visionaries to unsung heroes making a difference in their communities.

Save the date for Thursday, August 18th.

We’ll recognize sustainable leaders across industries, and reflect on the city’s collective accomplishments on its journey to becoming the “greenest city in the country.”

This isn’t your ordinary awards ceremony. Get ready to sample local fare and drinks from some of our favorite restaurants who source local ingredients. Learn something new and become engaged in interactive sustainability exhibits. Hear inspirational stories from local individuals who have made a difference. And the awards will have the city’s sustainability leaders collectively helping decide the nominees and winners with a unique “Nomination Advisors” panel.

Don’t forget your dancing shoes and an outfit ready for a night out on the town.

Stay tuned for more details and sign up for important alerts. Nominations will open May 17th.
