Sustainability Awards

The award is given to a company that, through active ownership of its value chain, takes responsibility for achieving significant goals on the ESG agenda. For instance, the company might collaborate with actors in the value chain or establish strategic partnerships that move the company's activities in a more sustainable direction.The effort is anchored in good governance and is reflected in, for example, specific requirements or clear goals for suppliers or partners in relation to, in particular, due diligence, risks of human rights violations, talent attraction, education, and corruption, but also environmental degradation or climate improvements, among others. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the company's work with its value chain has led to verifiable results and improvements. 

This award is given to a company that consciously and ambitiously works with the business's impact on key natural and environmental areas. The award is given for one specific environmental initiative that has helped to reduce or restore the company's negative impact on nature and the environment - preferably through innovation and a novel approach. It could be through the transition to more environmentally friendly production or consumption, transition to increased circularity, reduced resource consumption, reduced pollution, initiatives aimed at biodiversity and ecosystems, among others. With the initiative, the company can document initial results and effects that have created positive gains for nature and the environment and reduced the company's footprint in the area. The focus here is on Danish frontrunners who can help inspire and mature the field.
