Rebecca Egan of Siemens Energy has been named recipient of the Green Leader award at the Green Awards UK 2026, recognised for a significant contribution to tackling climate change and advancing environmental progress across the United Kingdom.

The Green Leader award is the programme's most distinctive individual honour, open not just to finalists from the awards but to any person who has demonstrated meaningful leadership on green issues and solutions across any part of the sustainability landscape, from renewable energy and green transport to sustainable construction and consumer or political advocacy. Its recipients are decided by nomination and due consideration, reflecting the breadth of influence the award is designed to recognise.

Egan's recognition at Siemens Energy places her among a cohort of individuals whose work in driving sustainable business practice and environmental innovation has made a tangible difference beyond the walls of their own organisation.

Siemens Energy is itself a company operating at the frontier of the global energy transition, and Egan's leadership within it speaks to the kind of purposeful, systems-level thinking that the Green Leader award was established to celebrate.

For green companies and sustainability companies across the UK, the Green Leader award represents the highest form of individual recognition within the Green Awards UK programme, honouring the people who are not just responding to the climate challenge but actively shaping how businesses, communities, and institutions engage with it.

The awards ceremony took place on 25 September 2026 at the Park Plaza London Riverbank, bringing together the cream of the UK's sustainability sector to celebrate a year of outstanding environmental achievement.

As the Green Awards UK look ahead to the next cycle, the question for the UK's sustainability community is clear: who will step forward to carry this standard of green leadership further?
