Plantagon nominated for Globe Award 2011

Globe Award is presented for the fifth consecutive year. The aim is to discover and encourage researchers, innovators, cities and companies which distinguish in sustainable development. Globe Award’s mission is to highlight and acknowledge particular cases and initiatives within sustainability area.

The jury consists of highly experienced and internationally recognized experts. Chairman of the jury for Globe Award’s Sustainability Innovation Award is Philip DesAutels, Microsoft’s Director of Academic Evangelism and researcher at Bentley University.

”We are pleased to announce our nomination of finalists from among the many applicants for the Globe Award for Sustainable Innovation. While the competition among applicants was intense, using the six fundamental dimensions of sustainability - prime, prosperity, people, planet, perpetuity and principle – we announce three finalists which we feel represent the world’s best sustainability innovations!”, says Philip DesAutels.

The Globe Award has decided to take further environmentally-friendly steps and fullfill its mission to contribute to sustainable development by reducing its carbon footprint. We truly belive that small actions do make a difference. It is our obligation for promoting sustainability not only in theory, but, also, in practise. Therefore the prize ceremony will be held virtually at the Globe Forum sustainability conference in Stockholm on May 11th.

The winner and the jury will present the winning projects. There will be an online chat after the prize ceremony so everyone can ask questions to the laureates.
