The Observer has handed out its first ever Ethical Awards - in association with Ecover, the manufacturer of ecological cleaning products.

The awards were the brainchild of the newspaper's ethical columnist, Lucy Siegle, to reward people and organisations judged to be pushing the boundaries of ethical living.
The winners of the six categories included a high profile campaign, a new building, an architectural practice, schoolchildren and a grandmother in Oxford. They were announced at a gathering in London on 15th June 2006, where we captured the event and profiled the winners.
