About

The Net Zero 50 List celebrates innovations that improve people’s lives and the world around us. The list is open to any individual, business, government or non-profit using digital products or services for positive social or environmental benefit.

About the List

Reaching net zero is enormously challenging and at the same time everyone’s responsibility.

The Net Zero 50 List showcases the work already underway, the 50 most inspiring individuals cross-sector and across the UK driving forward decarbonisation.

A different and growing event

Through building this list of exceptional talent, we seek not just to highlight what part the UK is playing in wider global sustainability developments, but to advance the conversation across sectors and form a network around innovative solutions to reach net zero.

Creating the List


The Digital Leaders Net Zero 50 List is a list of individuals, products and initiatives that have set out or delivered an ambitious decarbonisation strategy. It celebrates the net zero innovations and innovators who are delivering the UK’s net zero agenda of reaching zero by 2050.

Entries and nominations for the Net Zero 50 List 2023 will open in August 2023, and will close in October 2023.

Our judges will shortlist the entries into a final list of 50 across the 5 categories.

The final list will be announced in November, during Digital Leaders Innovation Week 2023.
