We are delighted to announce that Venus was awarded the Queen's Award for Sustainable Development in April 2010 - the second time Venus has won this accolade. One of only 10 companies throughout the UK to have been awarded a sustainability honour in 2010 (and only 8 in 2005), the judges described Venus as 'a rare example of a sustainable cafe chain'.
