Final four shortlists for Peach 20/20 Hero Awards announced

The nominations for the Sustainability Champion, EDI Champion, Consumer Choice and Power Brand categories at this year’s Peach 20/20 Hero Awards have been revealed.

The Sustainability and EDI awards shortlists reflect both the continuing achievements of individual businesses from across the hospitality sector, but also how they are inspiring others to do more in the vital areas of sustainability and diversity & inclusion.

The two categories were voted for by Peach 20/20’s community of senior industry executives, entrepreneurs and influencers – with insight and advice from industry experts.

The shortlists for the two consumer awards - Power Brand and Consumer Choice - are compiled from a combination of guest ratings measured by CGA by NIQ’s BrandTrack survey.

The winners will be revealed at the Hero & Icon Awards presentation dinner following the Peach 20/20 Leaders’ Summit on Monday 18 November - this year at a new venue, Convene Sancroft in the City of London.
