‘The entire sector is continuously becoming more sustainable. Sustainability is necessary to remain successful as an entrepreneur in the future. Sustainable innovations are therefore essential for our future resilience. Yet I notice that many innovations go unnoticed. A shame! The Greenovation Award is there to give them extra attention and reward them for all their efforts,’ says Maarten Bánki.
Why is an award for sustainability important for the sector?
‘There are many sustainable initiatives in our sector, yet sustainability is still often only associated with certification. Although certification is important, sustainability is in many more aspects . The Greenovation Award provides a platform for companies to showcase their sustainable efforts. This inspires other companies and promotes the progress of the whole sector.’
‘The award provides a different way for companies to show what they are doing in terms of sustainability. And at the same time, other companies can take inspiration from this which in turn moves the sector as a whole forward.’
What does the jury look for?
‘There are several criteria that we as judges pay attention to. Creativity, scalability and positive impact are very important here. In addition, it helps if the entry contains a good and clear story.’
If you have already participated once, can you participate again afterwards?
‘Yes, you can. As mentioned, many entrepreneurs are constantly innovating and making their businesses and products more sustainable. If you have a new product or concept, you can of course just register it.’
