Pioneers Post held its 14th annual NatWest SE100 Awards, recognising and celebrating 100 of the UK's most inspiring social enterprises that are pioneering change for all.

HL BaSE is pleased to have supported the SE100 initiative, created by Pioneers Post in collaboration with NatWest Social & Community Capital over a decade ago to support the development and growth of impact-driven businesses across the UK. Read more here.

This year, winners were announced for seven categories, including:

  • Social Business Pioneer
  • Pioneering Newcomer
  • Impact Management Pioneer
  • Diversity Pioneer
  • Climate Pioneer
  • Social Investment Pioneer
  • Pioneering Leader

Hogan Lovells partner, Jonathan Baird, and senior associate, Iris Sauvagnac, formed part of the judging panel for the 'Climate Pioneer' category, which was awarded to The Carbon Literacy Project. The Carbon Literacy Project are a fantastic organisation who offer carbon literacy training to citizens to help them understand how climate change will affect them, and what they can do to lower their carbon footprint.

Participating in the judging panel for the ‘Climate Pioneer’ category at the NatWest SE100 Awards as part of my pro bono commitment at Hogan Lovells has been an enriching experience. It allowed me to learn about the work of social enterprises tackling climate change. I was impressed by how these enterprises use simple tools to achieve significant impact and reach. This experience has given me a deeper understanding of the social enterprise sector and its role in advancing environmental solutions.

Iris Sauvagnac, Senior Associate

Congratulations to all nominees, highly commended, and winning social enterprises this year. We look forward to watching these organisations grow and drive change across the UK.
