Building on the success of two previous editions, the Malta GreenBiz Awards returns to recognise and honour businesses demonstrating genuine commitment to sustainability and circular economy principles.
Micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises frequently operate outside the spotlight afforded to larger corporations. From a marketing perspective, these businesses cannot command the same visibility as major enterprises, and their sustainability innovations often go unrecognised. The Malta GreenBiz Awards aims to change this narrative.
By elevating these overlooked businesses into the forefront, the awards demonstrate that meaningful innovation in sustainability is not the exclusive domain of large corporations; it is achievable, scalable and increasingly necessary.
The 2026 edition features six new distinct award categories, each designed to recognise diverse contributions to Malta’s sustainable future:
• The Sustainable Product Award for manufacturers and designers of eco-friendly products made in Malta, spanning fashion, household goods, beauty and wellness sectors.
• The Green Entrepreneur Award recognises founders of innovative ventures addressing environmental challenges across any sector, from technology and energy to agriculture and services.
• The Sustainability Impact Award honours educational institutions, non-profit organisations, trainers and advocacy groups driving awareness and behaviour change in environmental sustainability.
• The Best Green Startup Award acknowledges startups (1–50 employees) demonstrating excellence in integrating sustainability across operations, products and organisational culture.
• The Best Green Enterprise Award recognises larger enterprises (51+ employees) leading sustainability integration across supply chains, operations and workforce practices.
• The Judge’s Choice Award, selected by the judging panel, recognises the most outstanding entry across all categories. Finalists from the five primary awards are eligible.
Three finalists from each category will be present at the Awards Ceremony on November 19 at The Notch in San Ġwann, where entries will be evaluated by a distinguished panel of industry experts: Matthew Swain, head of sustainability, APS Bank plc; Anamaria Magri Pantea, adviser, Ascend Consulting; Marc Berghoff, executive coach, Vistage Malta; Prof. Leonie Baldacchino; and Gabby Grech Larsson.
Applications are entirely free to submit. The submission deadline is July 13.
The GreenBiz Awards is sponsored by APS Bank Ltd, Visit Malta, Eden Foundation, Working Town, Greenie.mt and Ewropa Kreattiva.
