3rd Future Award for Sustainability from NORDWEST
Pioneers of change
Entrepreneurial commitment to sustainability in practice
Sustainability is the foundation for future success. With the "Future Prize for Sustainability", NORDWEST recognises outstanding suppliers who take innovative approaches to sustainable business practices. This is the third time that NORDWEST has awarded the prize. This year, around 70 projects were submitted, which were scrutinised by the independent jury John E. Toft (CEO of TheKnot Recycling Consulting) and Sandra Honigs (Deputy Director of the Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum). The three chosen winners, Hamberger Sanitary, Kleining and LAUFEN, impressed the jury with their creative, sustainable solutions. Each received 6,000 euros in prize money for a team event.
The award ceremony on 29 October in Düsseldorf at the Haus der Träume, which was attended by more than 100 invited guests, underlined the fact that sustainability is more than just conserving resources - it also includes ethical behaviour and social responsibility. NORDWEST is driving this development forward with passion and visionary impetus.
