Cadogan named Sustainable Luxury Brand of the Year
Cadogan has been named Sustainable Luxury Brand of the Year at Walpole’s 2026 British Luxury Awards, recognising its long-term approach to stewardship and commitment to creating a more sustainable Chelsea
Now in their 25th year, the British Luxury Awards celebrate the businesses and individuals shaping the future of British luxury, from craftsmanship and creativity to skills, experience and long-term investment. This year’s ceremony brought together 350 leaders from across the industry at The Dorchester.
The Sustainable Luxury Brand of the Year award was judged by an expert panel of leading sustainability figures, including Pam Batty, formerly Vice President of Corporate Responsibility at Burberry; Dr Sally Uren OBE of Forum for the Future; Lucy Shea, Group CEO of Futerra; Mike Barry, former Director of Sustainable Business at Marks & Spencer; and sustainable fashion strategist Rachel Arthur.
Against strong competition, Cadogan was recognised for embedding sustainability across its work, combining environmental responsibility with positive local impact, supplier engagement and long-term stewardship. This approach extends from retrofitting historic buildings to investing in the environmental and social health of the neighbourhood. Recent examples include the transformation of Sloane Street, where 100 new trees have been planted and the completed scheme has achieved a 175% biodiversity net gain.
The award is a welcome recognition of the collective effort of colleagues, partners and suppliers, and of a shared commitment to ensuring Chelsea continues to evolve thoughtfully and sustainably for the long term.
