Co-located with the Global Supply Chain Awards and Global Procurement Awards, the event highlights organisations working across sustainability, procurement and supply chain to support a more sustainable global economy. ABB and Aurubis' industrial energy transformation. ABB has been shortlisted due to its project with Aurubis, focused on improving energy efficiency at Aurubis' Pirdop copper plant in Bulgaria. The project is replacing 460 older motors with IE4 and IE5 high-efficiency motors, alongside ABB drives. More than half of the plant's existing motors were over 25 years old, while fewer than 5% reached IE2 efficiency or higher. The upgraded motor fleet is expected to deliver a 28% reduction in energy consumption compared with the plant's legacy motors, saving 25 GWh of electricity annually and reducing carbon emissions by 12,000 tonnes per year. The project is expected to pay for itself within 3.5 years through energy savings. Bodycote's zero-emissions sites. Bodycote has been shortlisted for its Decarbonisation Roadmap & Zero-emissions Sites programme, which is focused on transforming energy-intensive heat treatment operations. The Derby and Rotherham facilities, which specialise in heat treating turbine blades for Rolls-Royce jet engines, now operate with zero operational carbon emissions. Both sites are fully electric, with 100% of electricity covered by renewable energy sources and no fossil fuels used in their operations. At the Derby site, Bodycote has also introduced a closed-circuit adiabatic cooling system. The technology has reduced electricity consumption by 73% and water use by more than 85%, while removing the need for chemical dosing and cleaning. Across the group, Bodycote has achieved a 27% reduction in energy intensity and a 29% reduction in associated carbon emissions compared with 2019 levels, while targeting a 46% reduction in operational emissions by 2030. SGS SA, the Swiss multinational leader in testing, inspection and certification, winner of the ESG Programme Award at the Global Sustainability Awards 2025. "It's the main programme that we have at corporate sustainability at SGS, which actually drives our action and different initiatives, trying to enhance our performance in sustainability," says Javier Lopez, Global Head of Corporate Sustainability at SGS, upon receiving the award. "It is truly I'm truly honored to receive this this, this this award." Merck KGaA's bio-based solvent transformation. Merck KGaA has been shortlisted for its Bio-Based Solvent Transformation, which targets the environmental impact associated with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The company has launched a portfolio of bio-based solvents manufactured using renewable feedstocks. The solvents deliver an average 25.9% lower CO[2] equivalent impact compared with conventional fossil-fuel-based HPLC-grade solvents while maintaining the performance required for analytical workflows. The solvents are compatible with established HPLC and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry methods and instruments, allowing laboratories to adopt the alternatives without redeveloping existing analytical methods. The project focuses on reducing environmental impact without requiring laboratories to change established processes. OurCoop's green energy transformation. OurCoop has been shortlisted for its Green Energy Transformation, which combines on-site solar generation, renewable energy procurement and community energy partnerships. The Society now has solar installations across more than 130 sites, including a solar carport and mini solar farm. Its solar estate has generated around 4.7 million kWh of renewable electricity over the past 12 months, saving more than 800 tonnes of CO[2] per year. OurCoop is also investing in long-term Corporate Power Purchase Agreements to source electricity from offshore wind. Its first agreement, developed with four other independent co-operatives, supplies up to 56 GWh of green electricity annually from the London Array wind farm, with a second agreement expanding renewable electricity supply further. Terraformation won both the SME Company of the Year Award and the Sustainable Technology Award for its innovative approach to global reforestation and ecosystem restoration. "This award represents the value recognition of all the global efforts between our local partners, community and landowners on the ground," says Alessandro Spagalino, Climate Impact Advisor at TerraFormation, upon receiving the award. "But of course it is dedicated to the team that works at TerraFormation. "Restoring the world's forests is not just our mission, but it's our responsibility and we just want to really thank Sustainability LIVE for this recognition." MTN's circular technology transformation. MTN has been shortlisted for Project Infinity, which demonstrates how device reuse can support both environmental and social outcomes. As part of a literacy pilot in Rwanda, 894 unused smartphones from MTN South Africa were repurposed through circularity partner GSM Systems. Working with Nabu, Rwanda's Ministry of Education and local implementation partners, the devices were delivered to 76 schools across seven districts. Each smartphone was pre-installed with the Nabu reading app, providing children aged five to 15 with access to culturally relevant stories in local languages and supporting a gradual transition to English. The programme trained 641 teachers to incorporate the devices and app into classroom learning. Over five months, it recorded a 276% increase in reading time and a 13% increase in book completion rates, demonstrating increased engagement with reading content. The project also delivered a measurable emissions benefit. Reusing the existing smartphones avoided the need for new device production, resulting in estimated emissions avoidance of 51 tCO[2]e. Together, the five finalists demonstrate how sustainability transformation can be delivered through different operational levers - from replacing inefficient industrial equipment and electrifying heat treatment to redesigning laboratory inputs, expanding renewable energy and extending the life of technology.

Agriculture, Farming & Rural 18/08/2026 22:07 Allonnia and SGS launch global D-Solve(TM) pilot program to accelerate critical mineral production. New collaboration enables mining companies worldwide to validate Allonnia's biotechnology for upgrading mineral concentrates at SGS's leading testing facility. BOSTON-BUSINESS WIRE- Allonnia, the industrial biotechnology company helping mining companies produce more critical minerals from existing operations, today announced the launch of a centralized pilot program with SGS that enables mining companies worldwide to evaluate Allonnia's D-Solve(TM) technology at SGS's Lakefield facility in Ontario. By reducing the cost, complexity, and time required to validate new processing technologies, the program is designed to accelerate the adoption of D-Solve across the global mining industry. Introducing new technologies into mineral processing has traditionally required costly, site-specific pilot programs. The centralized pilot model significantly reduces the time, complexity, and investment required for mining companies to evaluate D-Solve using their own concentrates at SGS under continuous operating conditions. The partnership creates an expedited approach for mining companies around the world to evaluate D-Solve, a bolt-on technology that uses Allonnia Biosolutions(TM) to selectively remove impurities limiting concentrate grade and recovery. The centralized approach allows Allonnia to accelerate project timelines while reducing logistical complexity and cost for customers. As demand for critical minerals continues to grow, mining companies are under increasing pressure to recover more metal from existing operations. D-Solve helps unlock additional value from existing operations by selectively removing impurities that increasingly diminish concentrate quality, decrease recovery, and detrimentally impact production economics. SGS will host Allonnia's pilot operations at its Lakefield facility, providing the infrastructure, analytical testing, and metallurgical expertise needed to validate D-Solve under continuous operating conditions. Customers can also leverage SGS's downstream flotation capabilities to validate the technology's impact across their full processing flowsheets. "The demand for critical minerals continues to outpace the industry's ability to bring new supply online, making innovation within existing operations more important than ever," said Nicole Richards, CEO of Allonnia. "Our responsibility is not only to develop breakthrough technologies, but also to rethink how they reach commercial adoption. Together with SGS, we're creating a trusted, customer-centered pathway that removes barriers to evaluation, accelerates commercialization, and helps the mining industry deploy the innovations needed to meet the world's growing demand for critical minerals." The partnership builds on a series of commercialization milestones for D-Solve. Following its successful continuous demonstration at SGS's Lakefield facility, Allonnia recently deployed D-Solve at Eagle Mine, the first biological solution to operate inside a working mineral processing mill. Together, these milestones demonstrate D-Solve's progression from laboratory validation to commercial deployment. "Mining companies rely on pilot testing to reduce technical risk and build the confidence needed to advance new technologies from concept to commercial reality," said James Brown, Director, Consulting, SGS. "Through this collaboration with Allonnia, we're combining our globally recognized pilot plant and metallurgical expertise with an innovative biotechnology to help customers evaluate its performance under real operating conditions. Together, we're creating a trusted pathway to accelerate commercialization, unlock greater value from existing operations, and support the mining industry's growing demand for critical minerals." The centralized pilot program is now available for mining companies seeking to evaluate D-Solve on nickel, copper, lithium, rare earth, and other critical mineral concentrates.
