SAS International has been shortlisted for the Sustainable Innovation of the Year Award at the FIS Innovation Awards 2026, recognising the company’s continued commitment to advancing circularity and sustainability across the built environment.

Organised by the Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS), the awards celebrate innovation that is helping to improve efficiency, productivity, performance and sustainability across the finishes and interiors industry. Winners will be announced at the FIS Awards Dinner on 22 October 2026 at Whittlebury Park, Northamptonshire.

SAS International has been shortlisted for its SAS Recover service and product line, which helps move ceiling systems beyond the traditional take-make-dispose model. Through a combination of circular design principles and take-back services, SAS Recover enables metal ceiling systems to be refurbished, recertified and reintroduced into use, extending product life, reducing embodied carbon and supporting a more circular construction industry.

“We are delighted that SAS Recover has been shortlisted for Sustainable Innovation of the Year at the FIS Innovation Awards 2026,” says SAS International General Manager Brad Giles.

“Sustainability and circularity are central to our long-term vision at SAS International, and this recognition reflects the significant investment, innovation and collaboration that have gone into developing SAS Recover. By extending the lifespan of our products and helping customers reduce waste and embodied carbon, we are creating practical solutions that support a more sustainable built environment. We are proud to see this work recognised by FIS and look forward to the awards ceremony in October.”

The FIS Innovation Awards seek to showcase innovative solutions that address real industry challenges and demonstrate measurable benefits in commercial applications. The Sustainable Innovation category recognises organisations that are helping drive positive environmental change through new products, services and processes.

As a leader in metal ceiling solutions, SAS International continues to invest in responsible manufacturing, low-carbon materials and circular business models. Through initiatives such as SAS Recover and its broader sustainability programme, the company is helping customers meet increasingly ambitious environmental targets while designing products that are truly Made for Generations.

SAS International is one of three organisations shortlisted in the Sustainable Innovation category.
