The Scottish Green List is SSDF's way of celebrating some of the amazing people that make Scotland more sustainable. We invited nominations for inspirational individuals from all parts of Scottish Society.

People working in all areas from housing, health, and education to energy, transport and waste management were nominated and the judging panel considered:

  • What has changed as a result of the nominee's actions?
  • Is there a lasting legacy?
  • How could others learn from the efforts?
