CEE Sustainability Leadership Awards
About the awards
The awards were created by a small group of professionals active in sustainability integration in finance and business, each with over a decade of work experience in the field.
The aim of the awards it to recognise and celebrate leadership by individuals in different sectors and parts of the system, who have been promoting, advancing, or driving sustainability integration in their own country or across the region and beyond.
The nominees will be evaluated according to 15 different criteria by a specially crafted jury.
All systems and organisations are formed and run by people - and we believe that inspirational and dedicated individuals can have a great impact on an organisation, mindset, or practice.
You can nominate an individual you believe deserves the award by using the links below. Please note that all nominations close at 17:00 CET on 20May.
