European Business Awards for the Environment
Aim of the project
The European Business Awards for Environment are awarded every two years to companies which in terms of management, product, production process or international cooperation make an outstanding contribution to sustainable development.
Only companies which have already been awarded a national prize are eligible for the European Awards. The ultimate aim of the Awards is – via the recognition and promotion of the “best companies in Europe” – to disseminate environmental best practices, relay the message that environmental awareness can enhance companies’ competitiveness and accordingly, to motivate positive change within the business sector towards environmentally friendly conduct.
