The Social Justice category seeks to improve equality through innovative sustainable design, resource redistribution and social entrepreneurship.

For many, need drives innovation. For others, innovation is driven by humanitarian principles and social altruism. This is fundamental to the principles of the Earth Awards as social progress and improvement is at the core of the programme.

Design that is conscientious and affordable and can have a genuinely beneficial impact during times of global crises or can simply improve people’s daily standards of living. Central to this category are innovations that will have an immediate impact and which will continue to benefit the community and its people for years to come.
