Ten companies line up for the European Business Awards for the Environment 2010
Ten European companies were shortlisted on March 12th for the European Business Awards for the Environment. The finalists represent companies from Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, Turkey and the UK. The prizes, awarded by the European Commission every two years, single out European companies that have made an outstanding contributions to sustainable development in four categories - management, products, processes, and international cooperation. The four winners will be announced at a ceremony on 2 June 2010 during Green Week, the Commission's major annual environmental conference and exhibition event in Brussels. The awards go to companies that spur economic growth by contributing to innovation and competitiveness while also protecting the environment. The theme of this year's conference is "Biodiversity – our lifeline."
“Preserving the environment makes enormous economic, social and business sense” said Janez Potocnik, European Commissioner for the Environment. “These Awards recognise the most far-sighted, responsible and eco-innovative companies in Europe and play a major role in identifying and promoting best practices. EBAE winners are the best of the best.”
The 10 finalists were chosen from 141 entries from 24 EU and candidate countries. This is the highest number of entries recorded since the European Awards for the Environment were launched in 1987. This record reflects growing interest of businesses in sustainability and their understanding for today's environmental challenges.
Ecover is one of the 3 finalist nominees for The Process Award for Sustainable Development for its Eco-Surfactants, the development and application of a new production technology that makes an outstanding contribution to sustainable development.
