2025 Lush Spring Prize

The 2025 Lush Spring Prize recipients were announced as part of a celebratory event held in Dorset (UK). The event was attended by prize recipients, Spring Prize judges, Lush staff, press, funders and other regenerative practitioners. The LUSH Spring Prize is a joint venture between LUSH Cosmetics and Ethical Consumer and is now in its sixth prize cycle, having started in 2017. The Spring Prize has distributed more than £1.3 million to regenerative projects worldwide. The LUSH Spring Prize was set up to support ‘regenerative’ projects – those that go beyond sustainability by taking holistic approaches to building the health of ecology, economy and social systems. It seeks to support those who are leaving the world lusher than they found it, and are actively restoring all the systems they are part of. By supporting regenerative projects the Spring Prize hopes to raise the profile of the movement as a whole to inspire more individuals, groups, communities, funders, media platforms and businesses to start engaging with regenerative processes. Each Spring Prize year sees different themes emerge that are shaped by the organisations that receive a prize. In 2025, these include the importance of weaving ancestral wisdom with scientific approaches; working at multiple scales and legally recognising the rights of nature, and learning from those on the frontlines that are facilitating regenerative work in conflict zones or regions experiencing natural disasters. 00:00 – Opening
