Nominations for the 5th annual Green Spa Network Sustainability Awards hosted by American Spa and the Green Spa Network (GSN) are now open. The awards recognize efforts that positively impact sustainable business in the spa industry and contribute to a vital future for people and the planet. This year’s achievements will be awarded in nine categories ranging from Green Building and Culinary Excellence to Sustainable Manufacturing and overall Spa Sustainability. “Over the past four years, this program has recognized more than 20 amazing spas, product, and supply companies, and individuals for their accomplishments in sustainability,” says Lisa Jacobs, senior consultant for Blu Spas and GSN board member. “With American Spa’s partnership, we’re proud to be making an even bigger impact through showcasing all the innovative and smart solutions green spa businesses are putting into action every day.”
Nominations this year will be accepted through June 15 and can be submitted through the GSN website at www.greenspanetwork.org. Any individual, company, or product related to the spa, health, and wellness industry is eligible to enter. The 2016 GSN Sustainability Awards Gala Reception will be at the Devil’s Thumb Ranch in Colorado on September 27. “Having had the honor of being on the judging panel for the GSN Awards in the past, I am thrilled to have American Spa and Questex play a bigger role with GSN this year,” says Julie Keller Callaghan, editor-in-chief and publisher of American Spa. “We are proud to support the growing sustainability movement in the spa industry.”
