German Sustainability Award is part of the German Sustainability Strategy

In 2023, the German Sustainability Award will be presented for the 16th time to honor pioneering contributions to the transformation toward a sustainable future. It is awarded in close cooperation with the German government as part of the German Sustainability Day and is the best-known and most coveted prize of its kind in Europe. The German Sustainability Award is based on the goals of the 2030 Agenda and thus on the key transformation fields such as climate, supply chains, society, biodiversity and resources. It is part of the German Sustainability Strategy.

The aim of the German Sustainability Award is to promote sustainable development by awarding the prize independently and objectively. Behind the award is the Stiftung Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis e.V., which acts as an independent body and cooperates with federal ministries, the German Council for Sustainable Development, institutions, organizations and companies.
