For this category, the judges choose Joint Winners as examples of both excellent capital projects, and replicable, scalable measures.

Lambeth Palace, the first of our winners is the oldest Grade I listed building to attain a Bream Excellent rating. It is a standout example of sustainability considered at every level, proving that heritage and environmental stewardship are not just compatible, but mutually inspiring.

And, about Gloucestershire Archives' Green Pledge Project: The judges were impressed by this project which is as broad in community impact as it is deep in organisational commitment to environmental sustainability. It is an inspiring example of how small, well-led interventions can create meaningful and lasting change.
